Canon R3

[Joel Eade]

I have been very tempted by Sony but my collection of top tier Canon glass keeps me put and in the end bird in flight is only a very tiny percentage of what I do and that is where the Sony may have a bit of edge over Canon. Otherwise the R5 and 5DMKIV combo fits the bill perfectly for now. Both are great for birding with high enough resolution for great detail and to allow substantial cropping, plenty of speed for my purposes and (again for me) no focusing issues. I believe the R5 firmware update has improved the AF even more. So for now I am staying with Canon and the R3 is of no interest but ....... the R1 ...... that's another story

PS I also like the Sony exposure system being able to use "zebras" to identify overexposed highlights makes it easier to get perfect exposures very quickly without any test shots
