Excellent review and series bro… one thing, you shouldn’t cull photos in camera. Do research on SD cards, and you’ll see failures are many times caused by deleting in devices/camera. I personally never had any failures but look around and you’ll see tons of data on it. Now I just dump my photos in the computer and then format the card back in the camera.

I can personally vouch to this...

I'm still using the Prograde 512GB SD UHS-II, but, I'm also using the Prograde 650GB CFE. Full JPEGs on the SD card, RAWs on the CFE. I have the camera set for review on card 1 (CFE).

2 slots on a camera, is equivalent to RAID.

Never have your eggs in one basket. Having two baskets costs a bit, though.

Two baskets are not going to help if carrying only one camera and it fails.

I thought you returned/sold the beasts

Wife and I talked. Changed my mind. Should’ve talked to the wife more, upfront. She’s happy now. The sticker shock got her. Me? I could be happy with a M50, but the R3 with 28-70, just kills it.

Cool!

I was wondering because no pics at your site for 2 months

New kid, December. Busy between work and 5 kiddos. No parental leave; sad. Have to be with an employer for 12 months to qualify.

Thought I'd give DXO a whirl. I'm neither impressed or unimpressed by the results. Color / WB is better than LR, but automatic lighting is non-existent / poor as previously discussed.

I'll be sticking with DPP4, for now. I may give RawTherapee a whirl with TIFFs from DPP4, I've heard good things about that combination. RawTherapee's support for R3 RAWs, ain't.

Thankfully SOOC JPEGs are solid on the R3.

Best wishes to the crew!

In the old days I tried to drag the shutter too much and not get enough dof for fear of noise

with dxo PL I don't fear noise and get my ss up there - try to be at ss 1/160 and higher

iso 12,800 is no issue after I customize my Deep Prime adjustments

DPP and Lightrrom don't even come close and DPP is in fact bad for NR

Like R2, I adjust in dxo to screen and tastes -- this is Hollywood, not about attaining more boring natural

I’m actually unimpressed with DXO noise handling. Then again, the R3 doesn’t have a noise problem to handle. The layout of DXO isn’t as intuitive as LR. Maybe I’m just getting old and don’t like my cheese moved. Gonna give RawTherapee a whirl and reevaluate.
