Re: R6 VS R3 Which camera is better?

From my 1dx and 5 series experience, I would expect the following real life comparison to still exist between R3 and R5/6:

R3

Build, Feel and handle like a pro camera - so much so that you’ll take nonsense photos just for the fun of it.

better meter that will show up in more difficult lighting conditions.

Cleaner and easier to clean high iso, plus more depth to the pixel colour

Faster grab of focus. It’s not just achieving focus, it’s the shorter time to focus

obviously higher frame rate, plus more choices

more accurate awb

much longer battery and potentially drives long lenses faster

heavier body weight balances longer lenses better.

As an aside the R1 will be more expensive and not be built for sports/wildlife.

R6

way cheaper.
