The R3 is a flagship camera, but it is imo wildly overpriced at $6500 vs the A1 or Z9...both of which perform as well with higher resolution. Imo the Canon lineup should be R6ii at $2500, R5ii at $3900, R3 at $5000 and R1 at $6500...Give or take...:-D

For my taste the R3 is just the right size / weight and ergonomics. In these points it beats the Z9 for my taste. I wonder why the Z9 has to be that big and heavy, even if it doesn't have a mechanical shutter.

At least here in Germany you can get the r3 for quite a bit less than the Z9, even though in this class I would assume this price difference not to be the deciding factor.

I also like the fact how compact and light the 7022RF lens is.

And I really like the 100-500. On the other side there seem to be some good priced lenses in the longer prime range from Nikon.

So it really depends what you want/need.
