You will very likely need to buy the R3II for that.And what about the pre-shooting buffer feature that the R7 has had for a while? Wonder how long we will have to wait for it to be added to the R3...
Please make a request to Canon directly.Canon add opengate recording. This is handy for social media.
Do you mean the 50-shot burst (RAW or JPG) at up to 195 fps that came with R3 firmware v1.2.0?Raw Burst when?!?! I don’t get it... that something like this isn’t in the R3...
I have to disagree. the R3 has way better hardware specs to do this. This is just a matter of effort from Canon and this is Canon's ignorance. I'm finding the R3 becoming more irrelevant for the asking price as time moves on.You will very likely need to buy the R3II for that.
I think he is referring to the RAW Burst Mode as defined here (R7 Manual):Do you mean the 50-shot burst (RAW or JPG) at up to 195 fps that came with R3 firmware v1.2.0?
Yeah I’m pretty sure he doesn’t mean that. The person very likely means the pre-shot buffer feature where it keep taking pictures in the buffer while shutter is halfway down to capture shots before shutter trigger. I think you most likely know that that is what they meant. The 195fps is an extremely extremely niche feature that very very few people are likely to use given no AF during it and you have to time your shot within a 0.25 second timeframe or something close to that to really make good use of that. Whereas the pre-shot buffer feature is hugely helpful for many shorts photographers and is pretty inexcusable that the R3 does not have that and yet the R6II and even the R7 does. There is no way that the R3 (only about a year old) doesn’t have the hardware to do this while those other cameras costing so so so much less is able to do it.Do you mean the 50-shot burst (RAW or JPG) at up to 195 fps that came with R3 firmware v1.2.0?
I came from a 1Dx II, and the R3 has much better autofocus than the II did. It is the best autofocusing camera to date from Canon.Looking forward to seeing how the new firmware improves the R3 experience. As a sports photographer, I am still hoping to have the ability to lock onto a subject without bouncing around to other subjects in the frame. I have followed many suggestions from this forum and it's improved but still not like my 1dxmk2. How often or what determines the frequency of FIRMWARE updates? Just my own curiosity.
I have already done that.Please make a request to Canon directly.
Yes, but the AF in the Sony A7RV smokes the Canon R3 for 1/2 the price. And you can be certain, that same type of AF is going to show up in every future Alpha series Sony.The autofocus of the R3, smokes the R5 and leaves it in its dust. The R5 is just like a 5D dslr, a good all arounder but a dog compared to the R3s autofocus.
I do think that Canon should have given R3 owners all the goodies that are in the R6II for what the R3 costs.
Fingers crossed they might add some more options. But as time goes on, the chance of that happening will evaporate and you will need to get the R1 if you want all the bells and whistles.
It certainly does not.Yes, but the AF in the Sony A7RV smokes the Canon R3 for 1/2 the price.
I have to disagree. the R3 has way better hardware specs to do this. This is just a matter of effort from Canon and this is Canon's ignorance. I'm finding the R3 becoming more irrelevant for the asking price as time moves on.
the stack sensor readout is slower than those in A1 and Z9 higher res cameras, it has less features that matters especially the pre-capture one which makes more sense for a sports camera. there is no hi res mode. For a first time Canon potential buyer, the R3 is the least attractive camera when you factor price and RF lens options. I can see EF users interest with it but new buyers ??? Canon is only sustaining this Stills camera business via its DSLR and lower end MILC. In my opinion, R5 is the flagship camera. R3 is a pointless venture by Canon.
You clearly haven’t used an r3 and an r5. I own both and will take the r3 any day over the r5. R5 has more megapixels sure but 24 is enough and its autofocus is far superior. It is a bit upsetting seeing features come out in the r6ii that aren’t being passed on to the r3.I have to disagree. the R3 has way better hardware specs to do this.
