Re: Canon R3 Review: My Perfect Camera

Hi, Your assessment is spot on again from my point of view!!

Your question is interesting so I will try to answer why and how I am doing about the MP numbers...lol...

I replaced the A1 for many resons but here are few of them...

1, I am doing a lot of sport photography, sponsring a football team and taking tennis pictures professionally too. For these jobs I do not need the 45 or 60 MP resolution but I need the reliable fast AF, the good high ISO performance and the high frame rate sometimes without any compression of the raw files or any just jpeg options. I have the RF 400/ 2,8 L IS and the RF 1,4 and 2,0x extenders so I am well covered for any kind of sporting events. (RF 70-200 2,8, together with the 2 other lenses of the holy trinity serve me well in this field.)

2 On high MP field I left the full frame camp... (I had the R 5 and the Nikon Z9 too...)

I went over to the "little" medium format... First I had the Fuji GFX 100S but I just sold my lenses and got the Hasselblad X2D 100c which one is and will be my main high MP camera. No full frame camera can come close to it as far as picture quality concerned when I need it. I love the interface and the ergonomic with that camera so more XCD lenses are on the way to complete my XCD 55 2,5 V lens.

I am very happy with this solution and right now I do not think I ever would be interested in any higher MP camera than my R3 which one is absolutely perfect for what I am doing.

Forgive me for the long ranting!

Have a nice weekend!
