Canon R3

[Fast Glass]

Haha, probably. So much of it is not very scientific to say the least.

I barely ever watch them, it think I've watched 2 or 3 vids from them altogether. But I think at this point I'm gonna relegate them to Ken Rockwell status. Maybe a notch above that.

The only thing I lend a little bit of thought is the birding. But even then I would not be using the way they did the AF system.

But regardless I feel like the R3 would really have to shine in order to really even be relevant to the A1. Not that I'm buying one, I've decided against that for now. But it's a super solid body that is hard to beat especially when it is in the same price bracket as the R3. It just gives the feel of not giving up anything. Want a high res body? Check. Want an all out sports/fast action body? Check.

Want a high res body? Check. Want an all out sports/fast action body? Check.

Want a body that works perfectly with my large collection of lenses?
Want a system with all the lenses I need, including wide and ultrawide tilt-shift lenses?
Want a body with an integrated vertical grip for better ergonomics?

Hmmmm, the A1 seems to leave several of my boxes unchecked.
