hmm, many of us are impressed
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.
The color and auto lighting still need, work.

Once you move your cheese and learn the details including cloning settings, it is really good and efficient.
Now I’ll say I’m “sold” on what it does for my G5x mark II, but that’s another story.
Didn't you say 70% of your shooting was with the digicam? That alone justifies the purchase.
but it also plays for your R3 and 28-70. Essentially it gives you 1-2 stops advantage in light, making your f2 lens a f1.2 lens.
It would even come into play in the shots you took above. Increase the shutter speed one stop from ss 1/80 to 1/160 for sharper results; For pairs, give the dof a bit more depth by 1 stop to f2.8 instead of f2. Don't worry about the added noise because you have 1-2 stop advantage. Move your cheese
My G5x mark II is on the chopping block. When an R8 or G1X VI emerge, that’s the end of it. It’s not keeping up with IQ leaps from smartphones. DXO certainly helps, tremendously too, but Canon needs to fortify those fronts and I suspect will given time. I don’t expect the R10 to “be it” for crop RF-S compact options.
I have noticed imo you are too much about running zooms on digicams and crop cameras for quick snaps.
In my opinion, crop cameras need primes and f1.4 lenses for more art.
RF-s isn't going to give us those f1.4 lenses
You had those f1.4 lenses with m6II and sold out
Personally I love my small RP and RF 24-105 F4 L. The IQ and range is much better than anything you can run on those crop cameras and digicams..
So I use the great RF 24-105 L zoom formula for FF




and the great 32 f1.4 prime lens formula for crop.






95% is now from the R3.
My opinion holds. Nice handiwork though.
