Hello.

I am interested in purchasing a new camera, I currently have a 6Dii camera, with several ef lenses, my main use of the camera will be sports photography (mainly acrobatics and rhythmic gymnastics), dance, performances, studio, people, animals.
I'm undecided between buying r3 and r6.
Camera features that are important to me:
1) ISO capabilities in harsh lighting conditions.

both cameras are excellent here

2) Fast and accurate focus even in harsh lighting conditions

both cameras are excellent here

3) Activate a rolling shutter as low as possible.

r6
I know of r6 has the rolling shutter phenomenon, to what extent is it manifested?

the R6 has NO rolling shutter up to 12FPS on the mechanical shutter ...may have some with fast-moving subjects at 20FPS

She has a problem that when shooting the viewfinder turns black, I realized that it's causing it to miss focus and miss pictures, how true is that?

the AF on my R6 seems almost like magic..i have yet to do the new firmware that can only make it better than magic

How is its battery life?
I have some other drawbacks with it, but it can be overcome.

not the best battery life and yes it can be overcome..you have to put another battery in ...whuppy do.. i used to put another roll of film in every 36 shots

you can get a battery grip to double your batt life

r3

The problem with it is the price, does the price really justify what it gives?

if the R6 will do what you need then the R3 is of poor value...however if you NEED 30 FPS with less (not non) rolling shutter and generally a camera that has an edge in most parameters and eye activated AF and you have no time to change a battery and need the weather sealing and builds quality to go into a war zone then the R3 becomes good value

Which camera do you think is best for photography and will give me the best value?
It is important that the camera also work well on excellent with an ef lens adapter

Thanks.

i think after you using the 6Dmkii the capabilities of the R6 will blow you away and it will feel like you are cheating ...if i was you i would get the R6 and spend the cash on lenses

What about banding? Have you experienced this in several lighting conditions?
