Huge viewfinder. Although this is self explanatory, it’s worthy of a mention as it’s a luxury and a step up from both my former R and the R5 I gave a whirl previously.

Don't R, R5 and R3 have the same viewfinder magnification? R5 and R3's EVFs also have same resolution.

Both the R3 and R5 are listed as 0.76x, but multiple reviewers have said the same as RLight, so I don't know what is causing the discrepancy.

There’s the eye sensor/s surrounding the EVF… Acts as a hood. It’s “bigger”, but you’re technically correct. You could say it’s the same food, on a bigger plate. Eating off bigger plates is more enjoyable than eating off smaller plates… it’s the same 12oz steak to your point (EVF as the R5). The experience is more immersive though, less distractions, and gives you more perceptual quality from the EVF. A hood over the R5 viewfinder could achieve the same thing I suppose. That would be kludgy, however.
