The R3 will get in the right hands well before the Olympics. Last thing you want is the best photographers in the world not knowing their way around a new camera for a major sporting event.

I have very small hands so the smaller R5 form factor has been great for me BUT the teeny, tiny back buttons that I use for different back button focus options are not so great for me because I do most of my shooting in cold weather with thick gloves which means it's almost impossible for me to discriminate the buttons by feel because of their small size. My solution has been to build them up with moldable silicone to be able to feel them through my gloves. The camera was great unmodified when I was not wearing gloves.I made the switch to the R5 from the mk4 and the only advantage to the DSLR is the longer battery life, and if I’m being honest the placement of the controls was more ergonomic on the mk4. I have larger hands and some carpal tunnel syndrome and it’s sometimes it’s more difficult ergonomically with the smaller form factor giving less room for manipulating the controls. I don’t understand the appeal of a smaller camera body, it’s not like you save that much room in a camera bag but you definitely lose some handling comfort. I am getting used to it though so some of it is muscle memory.
Ah, make it smaller...I made the switch to the R5 from the mk4 and the only advantage to the DSLR is the longer battery life, and if I’m being honest the placement of the controls was more ergonomic on the mk4.

The last time a Canon integrated grip body DIDN'T disappoint on megapixels was 2012 with the original 1DX, 9 years ago. And each and every time since, most people on this and other forums predicted a 20-50 percent increase.I can't imagine Canon making it 20MP. They wouldn't want it to have the same MP as the much less expensive R6. Since it's a sports camera my guess is 30MP, which would make it more than a 1DX or D6.
I suspect some 1Ds III owners were disappointed that the successor to their 21 MP sensor had only 18 MP.The last time a Canon integrated grip body DIDN'T disappoint on megapixels was 2012 with the original 1DX, 9 years ago.
Yeah, Private, I've noticed that. I picked up a couple 6D mark Is for remote camera work out in the woods for <$400 each, with a sensor about as good as the 6D Mark II and the RP. Add a home-brew IR trigger and a piece of canvas clipped over it to keep the weather off, and I'm paying less than a nice game camera.on the flip side for people like you there are no end of crazy DSLR bargains to be had.
I hope your wrong though I’m starting to feel you maybe rightR3 will be the R6 on steroids. The R1 will be the R5 on steroids. Would be a shame if same censors or MP.
I was! So much so that I skipped the 1D X and waited for the 1D X III suspect some 1Ds III owners were disappointed that the successor to their 21 MP sensor had only 18 MP.
"This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last."I just can’t understand why Canon is keeping the wraps on the MP count.
What does that mean?NEW accessory shoe
And every bit more competent for the job than necessaryI just keep telling myself that my 5D3 and my 10 EF L lenses are every bit as good as the day I bought them...
oh, new Canon fangear!!!What does that mean?
think Yeezy or some other over priced shoes.... ;-)
R7 crop sensor might be better for you if it's like the R3 but with a cropped stacked sensor of say 30-35mpI just can’t understand why Canon is keeping the wraps on the MP count. With the R3 already in the hands of some “pros” I just don’t get it.
Since switching from the original A9 then A9ll to the R5 having those 45mp has been a game changer for me, the ability to crop and now not have to shoot as tight. I mostly Shoot Alpine ski racing
Given the fact that the 1DsIII was 21mp, the 1DX was 18 and the mark II is 20.2, isn’t this rather psychological than practical ? I’d challenge anyone to see the difference.I was! So much so that I skipped the 1D X and waited for the 1D X II
