So I finally got my R3 (425 days after preordering on April 14th 2021), changing from the 1Dx.
One thing that surprised me is the time DDP (4.16, the latest) takes to open and fully render the .CR3 files vs the .CR2 files from the 1Dx. Sure, there are 33% more pixels (18M -> 24M), but I found that the 1Dx .CR2 files opens in approx 12 seconds vs 35 seconds for the R3 CR3 files(!) - both tested/measured on the same laptop (i7-8565 CPU). Using my desktop (i7-9700K) doesn't bring down the opening time a lot (32sec).
Is this normal to see such a leap?
I picked up a C1 v22 license as well, but haven't had time learn the SW yet, so have to look into if that also is 3x slower in rendering. That'll have to be a task for July.
@neuroanatomist you did the same move from 1Dx to R3. As I recall, you don't use DPP? What are you seeing?
