Good video, but you continue to imply the R3 does not shoot 14-bit RAW with electronic shutter. Here's a quote from Canon's site that has been there since its release: "The EOS R3 delivers substantially faster read-out speeds and produces much lower "rolling shutter" distortion than previous EOS models. The new sensor architecture also increases light capturing efficiency which leads to cleaner low light photos while possessing the ability to capture them as true 14-bit RAW files in electronic shutter mode."
I’m really glad you did those studio shots like you did with the R5 II video. It’s as “scientific” as you can get. You can’t really tell the difference until you see them shooting the same exact scene under the same settings locked off. Kudos to you taking the time to do all of that!!
Man I love my R3's. I don't see myself replacing them until the wheels fall off. I played around with the R1 and the body felt a lot bigger and less ergonomic - that alone sealed the deal.
You always do a great job at explaining your methodology and trying to separate the pragmatic benefits vs. the "technical" ones. The amount of work you put into this shows through. Regarding these cameras, all three are out of my price range, but it's still cool to see what they can do. Mind you, I'm deliriously happy with what my little (and affordable!) R8 can do and the trickle down from these companies' top of the line toward the lower tier cameras is where someone like me reaps the benefits the new tech is bringing to the table. Thank you for doing this!
Got both cameras. Jared is spot on in his review here. The R1 is not better or worse in picture quality, but damn they enhanced everything else quite a bit. Autofocus, cards, handeling, speed, viewfinder and the reason i got the R1 they gave it C-log 2 to match my cinema cameras.
I’m an R3 owner sports primary & was curious about the R1 in a real comparison, have looked all over the web, yours is the best one with straight “real data” I have found - thx!
I kinda like this semi muted version of Fro! 😂
Get well soon Jared. I'm one of your supporters from the Philippines because your content are a heaping help. Aside from being informed, I enjoy the entertainment. Power on man💪
That cap test is really interesting. Didn’t know cameras even had these different levels of “gain stages”
Canon R1 vs R3; now that’s a great choice, either way you win!
I almost lost not only the voice but the script as well. Cowaboonga Bro! It is a really cool comparrison.
This is one of the best reviews on the R1 and R3 !!! I shoot on a Canon R6 II. If I had the money I will purchase the R3.
Can't wait to see this R3 and R1 beast battle! I hope you get well soon, Fro!
Today I bought pre used R3 for 3000 euro in perfect condition from the shop. For the last 12 years I was shooting with my original 1DX which I got in 2013 for 6.500 euro. The AF on R3 is simply mind blowing !
Steve Perry just did an excellent video about the expose-to-the-right technique and why it doesn't really help with noise. In that video he demonstrates that the amount of noise in the image is almost entirely determined by the amount of light reaching the sensor, not by the ISO (gain) setting of the sensor (with some slight caveats for dual-gain sensor designs). So at 10:30 in this video where the R3 shot looks a lot cleaner than the R1 shot, I think the main difference here is that the R3 shot is at f3.5, whereas the R1 shot is at f5.6. Even though both cameras are set to ISO 80000, the main difference is that the R3 sensor is getting more than an extra stop of light, and hence lower noise / better signal-to-noise ratio. In any case, the results from both cameras are spectacularly good. Thanks for the comparison!
R1 seems to have more of the legendary canon color noise vs what the R3 has. I have been debating which body to get, and with this finally I decided to just upgrade to the R3 save money since so many are dumping them to get the R1. R3 is a plenty good upgrade from the POS Nikon D5... I am so happy to finally switch back to Canon after shooting Nikon for the past 7 years.
Picked up an R3 this week as it was reduced by $2.5K here in Australia (plus an extra $300 cash back that Canon is running here). I shoot motorsport and basketball and have been using a Canon 200Dii (SL3) with an EF 70-200 f2.8 mark II, so for me it's such a massive upgrade, I don't think I'll need another camera for a long time. Just being able to focus on an eye during basketball is going to be a game changer for me, due to the 200Dii's very limited 9-point AF system. Also happy to see how well it compares to the R1, even if the AF is going to be a bit more 'basic' on the R3 than the R1, it seems like it's worked pretty well for you over the past 3 years!
Been shooting the R3 for a couple years and it's by far my favorite camera. I have a feeling it's going to be like the 5Dsr was when people said it wasn't that good but once Canon was trying to get rid of them all with big discounts people loved them. Now the R3 has big discounts and all the people who said it wasn't enough megapixels the past couple of years will pick one up and love it.
16:05 "Gain Stages" Easiest way to avoid this problem is only allow ISO to change in whole stop increments (camera will never choose an ISO between 800 and 1600).
