    Great if you can find one.

    Moved up from an R6. R3 delivers as promised. No noticeable rolling shutter. Tons is customizable options for buttons. 30 frames per second is a bit of overkill for me. But 20 fps works out great. All of my EF lenses adapt perfectly. Battery life is not as long as my 1DX2 since there’s always a screen on at some point vs the optical viewfinder on my DSLR. Much less noise at high ISO than my R6.

    Best camera I’ve owned yet.

    Coming from a 5dmk4 and the upgrade is massive. Autofocus is much more accurate. It was a steep price but it’s been well worth the extra money. Works great with ef/rf adapter. I love the “thumb mouse” for auto focus. Batteries are great, I bought a second back up and I don’t ever have to worries about not having enough. (At least for stills). Cf express are a blessing, really helping in the download speeds. Check out more images with the camera @ryantfoley on instagram.

    Awesome Value

    Compared to my old 1d x mark II this a brilliant upgrade! A bit lighter and has already proven itself in extreme scenarios in the motorsports world with dust, dirt, mud, rain thrown at it. Ive taken 10s of thousands of photos this year alone. Really happy.
