Pros: Fast autofocus, fast and precise eye detection (sometimes it mistakes holes for animal eyes but it fits), high ISO resistance, excellent backlit Staked sensor, fast and precise eye control, tropicalization at the top, weight, ergonomics, battery life, frame rate at 30fps very fast with the possibility of customization at 195fps for a single shot, dynamic LCD screen ....... It's great for me!!!!!!

Cons: if I have to be picky, a few more pixels did not hurt .... But isn't it that serious!!!!!

Opinion: There are not many words to write about such a camera, excellent if not excellent in any area of use ...... A bet won by Canon with backlit staked sensor that on my behalf is scary!!!!! I admit that it is not infallible but it certainly helps you to bring home the result without any problem, fast and convenient even the use of the bluetooth and network system. Highly recommended!!!!!!

Pros: Autofocus at the top of the category, Eye Focus Control, reference viewfinder, ergonomics, tropicalization and build quality, high iso tightness, dynamic range, autonomy, .... in short, an exceptional camera!!!.

Cons: I just can't think of anything

Opinion: Everything you could want in a camera body designed and manufactured mainly for nature and sport. Disarming the ease with which the AF hooks the subjects and keeps them in focus to the edges of the frame. A record-breaking feature (which in my opinion shares with another "phenomenon" of the mirrorless landscape: the Fuji XH2S) and that allows bursts in which it is really difficult to find an out-of-focus frame. Ergonomically perfect, it has relatively small dimensions and an excellent level of tropicalization. The maximum for use in the harshest conditions. The innovative focusing system that exploits the movements of the pupil can represent an additional advantage in terms of speed if necessary, but it is necessary to get used to it. As for the position of "flagship" in the Canon house, I doubt that the future R1 we are talking about will be able to do better in terms of operation, if anything it will have features designed mainly for different or additional uses compared to the traditional sports and / or naturalistic photo.

Pros: everything, frame rate from 30 fps per second. AF sensor on the eyes of people, animals and for cars. the best high iso around. (low-light iso)

Cons: nothing

Opinion: simply the best camera both among the SLRs and among the mirrorless currently on the market. even superior to the flagship of the super professionals subscribed to the SLR or the canon 1dx mark III. dxo-mark puts it in first place in the ranking of cameras for sports and nature photography. high speed with 30 fps per second and 1/64000 practically the fastest machine in the mondo.ma excels in all sectors even in landscape and portrait with color depth and dynamic range. in these fields surpassed only by medium format machines such as the Hasselblad X1D-50c. it has a perfect handle, a firm grip, a robust camera body.it is not yet considered the real flagship for canon in mirrorless because they already have the R1 in plan. the machine that according to the opinions of experts will revolutionize the era of fotografia.ma the R3 integrates an articulated touchscreen display, interesting comfort in different conditions, despite this, however, the body remains tropicalized and therefore resistant to atmospheric agents. It has a 0.5" electronic viewfinder with 5.76 million points, 120Hz refresh rate, 100% coverage and 0.76x magnification which, among other things, has no blackout during shooting, so you can continue to photograph in bursts without any kind of darkening that could distract you. the R3 is a real bomb waiting to amaze us even more with the R1. great Canon

Pros: Viewfinder equipped with an algorithm that makes it the best possible approximation of an optical viewfinder. Gaze-controlled focus is possible even in catastrophic light conditions. Responsiveness, performance and versatility of AF. Very low noise as the ISO rises. Low weight when compared to that of a reflex flagship counterpart.

Cons: If it had a handful of extra pixels it would be the non plus ultra ! The dual-pixel raw is missing.

Opinion: A flagship that, however, weighs on average about 1/2 kilo less than an equivalent SLR. Its performance is precisely from flagship: shutter speed up to 1/64000, crazy burst, noise containment at high ISO record, tropicalization at the highest levels on the market, dynamic range at the top, large and super bright viewfinder, equipped with a function that assimilates it to an optical viewfinder, LCD screen with very high resolution: how, moreover, the same viewfinder. It deserves a mention apart from the AF compartment, in which the focus is shining controlled directly by the user's pupil (there is a device that stores the calibration of the photographer's iris), which allows you to use the AF, which follows what you are following with your gaze, as is not possible on any other camera on the market; but, not least is the responsiveness and performance of the same autofocus module: 4779 areas capable of automatically recognizing not only people, or animals, but also vehicles and able to do all this practically in the dark! In fact, the photos that should be, possibly, to be trashed would be, without less, to be ascribed solely to the user and not attributable to the device. Finally, even the resolution, which is not in line with the trend based on increasingly dense sensors and which could be increased, does not penalize the detail that much, thanks to an absolutely non-invasive anti-aliasing filter. It lacks the dual-pixel raw, which made its appearance on the 5D MK IV and was further developed on the R5. In conclusion and in any case, it remains a "podium" camera.

Pros: The most consistent of the AF modules, the ability to focus in the dark, the shutter speed of 1/64,000, the exclusive Eye Focus Control, the best resistance to high ISO, 24 excellent Megapixels, the automatic recognition of people, animals and vehicles, the perfect ergonomics especially with "important" lenses such as Supertele and fixed RF, extraordinary burst (up to 30 FPS with ES), Canon's first Stacked sensor, the excellent tropicalization, the presence of the smart touch control at the AF ON button, the excellent viewfinder even in very low light, the absence of rolling shutter, a powerful battery that "moves" in an instant even the heaviest lenses.

Cons: Absence of lock button for the mode dial, this can allow you to turn it inadvertently (I set the ISO to this), slightly small upper display.

Opinion: Canon's dedicated camera for photographers engaged in sports, photojournalism, reportage and "fast" birdlife, the Canon EOS R3 is the first Canon FF RF to be equipped with the brand new Stacked sensor designed and manufactured by Canon. The latter, together with the excellent DIGIC X processor, represents the fulcrum of the R3 whose task is to ferry canon 1 Series owners to the new Mount RF. Thanks to the very fast readout of the sensor (1/180) the R3 allows you to use the electronic shutter in virtually any situation without the risk of incurring the Rolling Shutter. I immediately appreciated the operating speed combined with the possibility of shooting up to 1/64,000 (with bursts up to 30 FPS with electronic shutter) and with a consistency of photos in focus practically absolute in any context thanks to an incredible and fully customizable AF module that, repeated to the competition, can also take advantage of the innovative (for an R) Eye Focus Control, that is, the possibility of looking with the eye at what you want to focus on, thus giving the control to the machine combined with the possibility of automatically selecting people, animals and vehicles. The sensor is as fast as it is in quality (this is perceived as soon as you open the first RAW) so much so that it has earned the highest score (for a Canon sensor) on DXO which, at the same time, has praised it as "the best low light performance of any full-frame camera in our database". Its form factor winks at the historical customers of the Canon 1 Series and guarantees almost perfect ergonomics, especially with "important" lenses such as Supertele and RF fixtures. This machine removes any alibi to the photographer: if correctly set the AF module it is not possible to mistake the hooking of a subject as it is not possible to have a frame of an out-of-focus burst so, if this were to occur, the fault would fall, solely, on the incompetence of the user. I have yet to test it in the travel reportage but, from my first impressions, this is a total machine capable of fulfilling its duty both in a studio in Rome and in a context of rain, dust and humidity typical of some difficult destinations.

Pros: Advanced and modular M.a.F. system, adaptable to specific needs; ergonomics; tropicalization (but I already knew this); EVF; design; battery life; stabilizer; focus up to - 7.5 EV and so much more.

Cons: At the moment none, but I reserve a more accurate judgment for when I know her better.

Opinion: Purchased on 4-12-2021 and tested on the field with a wedding on a day impossible from a weather point of view. Excellent behavior, except for some of my cognitive deficiencies on the product just bought. I do not consider it infallible since I am convinced that there are no infallible cameras, but only excellent products that minimize (almost zero) the margins of error. This is one of them! For now I have used it almost exclusively with the 85 mm. f. 1.2 at maximum aperture (or almost) to obtain in wedding portraits that WOW effect that is so fashionable. (we have to survive and therefore we have to adapt "ob torto collo" to the momentary fashions). I also took some shots with the new (for me) RF 15-35 f. 2.8 and I must note that compared to the EF16-35 f.2.8 it is so much, but much better. You can see and appreciate a big difference due to the new draft and the new design. For now I would stop here, waiting to test it longer and in situations of great speed of action. Next March the riding competitions will start again and then I will really understand how the new R3 body behaves.
