Re: Canon R3 Users: Are you experiencing (any) focusing issues? I am!

I've carefully read the OP's litany of issues and grievances, and I've concluded that the camera is having trouble because of way too many parentheses. No AF system can handle this many!

Ba-da-ba-dum...

Regardless of whether somebody has owned an expensive camera in the past, I believe that in these days with stress at a generational high, ANY difficulty getting up to speed with a new system can be worrisome. In other words, the high cost of the new body+lens magnifies little problems.

When playing poker, being stressed about the stakes generally leads to bad play and expensive mistakes.

As suggested in one or more earlier posts, OP should send the body back while in the return window. OP has way too many objections to a new EXPENSIVE body to ever enjoy it, in my opinion.  Maybe it's defective, or maybe the new AF system is overwhelming. Get something cheaper to learn with, say an R6, which happens to work beautifully with the RF 50mm 1.2.

Or wait for an Octa-Pixel system?
