Dynamic range is very important for my personal style and in my surroundings - there are no great differences between R6 , R3 or R5. In tests noise levels do not differ much and they all have usable high ISO level - i very rarely shoot with higher than ISO 6000. Who does?

i do almost daily. I feel fortunate when I have enough light to go to 6400 or below due to extremely high shutter speeds and stopping down for DOF. The R5 is great at 6400 and the R3 is equally great at 12800. This is for frozen wings for hummingbirds with both and small birds in flight with the R3.

In my experience, the R3 can produce nice results at high ISOs with post processing at about 1 stop more than the R5 and presumably the R6.

i have never seen a hummingbird - did not know  that ISO 6400 or higher  is needed for those birds. There are many other things people do see and want to make a photo.

Around here the length of the day is like 5 hours  30 minutes tomorrow and sun is low behind clouds - not very bright. ISO 6400  or higher is something i don't have to use - IS and IBIS work quite well. Even when it is night. And there are no fast moving hummingbirds...
