    Buying a R3 or R5 in May 2023?

    Just got an R3. The thing is a beast. I don't regret it even one bit. $500 off was just the icing on the cake. I would happily buy another one. But with all that said, my primary source of income with photography is in sports. So having a sports and wildlife camera, with the most advanced AF...

    Here is the Canon EOS R6 Mark II & Canon RF 135mm f/1.8L IS USM

    In all seriousness, the lock switch and the photo video mode switch are in fact huge upgrades to the functionality of the R6. The aforementioned lock switch as opposed to a button is nice change as I like to just look down at my camera and see that the lock switch is on. (Like on my 1DX Mark...

    Here is the Canon EOS R6 Mark II & Canon RF 135mm f/1.8L IS USM

    Holy moly, that lock switch alone may be worth the upgrade :LOL: I can't put into words how much I despise that lock button on the current R6. Sorry I'm an old guy. I love my old timey switches and various levers that make life easier....Stupid buttons.

    R5 v1.5.1 is up

    I downloaded 1.5.1 for the R6. The AF appears to be rock solid now. For me at least, on 1.5.0, the AF could never decide which eye it wanted to stick to. It would jump around like crazy. I'm not talking like hold 3-seconds then switch. It was like switch,switch,switch,swich, back and forth like...

    Issues with the R5 1.5.0 firmware?

    Ok good to know if I'm ever in a similar situation. Truth be told I took both my R6's back to 1.4. I didn't have any problems expressly, but that eye AF jumps around like crazy and I don't like it. Seems like 1.4 is just more stable.

    Issues with the R5 1.5.0 firmware?

    Wow...what an absolute circus to revert. Well I'm happy it worked man.

    Issues with the R5 1.5.0 firmware?

    Bro. Honestly so happy to hear you got your camera back to 1.4. I just wanted to say that before I watch the video. None of what was going on with your camera trying to roll back was making sense.

    Canon R3 does not show 6k RAW or 4k HQ in the menu!!!

    Looks normal. See below from the video suggested above. Maybe I'm missing something? Granted he appears to be in PAL and you appear to be in NTSC.

    Canon R3 does not show 6k RAW or 4k HQ in the menu!!!

    You know I just thought of something. I would imagine the R3 is is similar to the 1DX Mark III. When you select Raw recording with proxy from your yellow menus it will change the options that you can access in the Red menus to select your video type. To select all options you need to make sure...

    Canon R3 does not show 6k RAW or 4k HQ in the menu!!!

    For whatever it's worth on my 1DX Mark III when I select RAW video with proxy recording on the second card, the high frame rate option is grayed out for me as well. See below. I have San Disk 512 cards so it's certainly not an issue of speed. But can you take a picture of the screen where you...
