Low light rating of "great"?

Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge of the R3 from … 50 - weddings, wow! Can you elaborate a bit more regarding your comment or wish for better high ISO-performance? I thought the R3 would be an improvement in that regards compared to R5.

I think the R3 may be a very marginal improvement over the R5, but nothing particularly noticeable.

I'm not afraid of a bit of noise at high ISO, it's more so the degradation of colours. It's by no means a criticism of the R3, as it's very comparable to the best cameras on the market in this area - more of a "in the coming years if I change my R3's or a R3 II is released, it's the area I'd want to see improvements in to make me change cameras".

I can't afford no R3, but, am a "potential" new customer for the rumored R6II which is supposed to have the same sensor as the R3.

My question to you is can you expand a little more or (provide samples) as to what you see "degraded" in the colors with this $6000 camera? I thought it was very interesting how you gave the low light capability a rating of "great" but not excellent.

One thing I have learned, no matter how modern or expensive a camera might be, the rule or expression "garbage in garbage out" always give you the same result no matter how good your equipment is. The same as a very expensive high quality Audio receiver, I don't care how good it is if you feed it poor audio quality the sound output will also be crappy. How much do you push the images in low light without flash as you said?

Thank you.
