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.

It’s NOT the same sensor....

They’re very different. My apologies for spreading the would be sensor match rumor, it was logical but Canon has other plans for stacked sensors remaining at the top.

The R6 II has a much lower light sensitivity score so it’s not BSI, it’s FSI. And definitely not stacked either. It’s a good sensor, the R6 sensor is too, but no stacked R3, sorry about that.
