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.
2) Fast and accurate focus even in harsh lighting conditions.
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?
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?
How is its battery life?
I have some other drawbacks with it, but it can be overcome.

r3
The problem with it is the price, does the price really justify what it gives?

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.

If you just want to take great photographs and you are not using the camera in extreme conditions in rainforests or something , R6 will do everything you need. EF lenses work just fine - own experience of lenses like 100-400LmkII.

I have first generation lenses, the question is how does it work with them

Focusing is just great in all possible circumstances - also in low light .

I have not noticed any problems with viewfinder turning black when i have shot rather long bursts of a fast moving surfer. Every frame sharp... eye/face detection works from a longish distance - surprisingly well.

Your 6D has better battery life than R6 - you have to buy one more spare battery.

R3 is better - whatever that is ... extremely fast speed (fps) , eye controlled focusing point etc . Longer battery life - and much more expensive spare batteries.

The price is about x 3 , i do not know if R3 is three times better. Perhaps in some very special cases. Of course i will buy a R3 when i win in the lottery... nothing against a great camera.

This is the main question, is r3 really worth the price of x3

IMO the limiting factor is us photographers. I'm sure R3 is too much for my skills. Especially limited video skills.And i'm not shooting extremely fast sports

R6 + 100-400
