MacBook Pro 2021(M1)  vs. 2013: For the R3. Raw file conversion (based on 17 .CR3 files), 7.33 minutes vs. 13 minutes. DPP may be slow but it is the only application that can faithfully convert the ...

Set for people detection and eye detection. If your subject is close you definitely want eye detection on. Notice that with the above settings, as the person recedes the highlighted focus area goes ...

You may want to level the horizon in the first photo.

The R3 is my all time favorite. The 1D was legendary. But not my favorite. It had many warts. It was a legend because people tell how it set the stage for DSLRs to come:

1D: Separate readout of each half of the CCD (not CMOS) array allowed frame rates unheard of at the time. Flash sync 1/500sec. Rugged, weatherproof body, akin to the Canon 1V film camera. Built-in ...

This one works and is only $5.

Auto focus face/head/body detection is good on the R3 and much more accurate and easier than using your eye to select. As a subject recedes you will see the autofocus go from a small square around ...

Yes, my sentiments, exactly. If you have an RF lens, the outer ring can be programmed to exposure compensate when in manual with auto iso. And this could be why the designers did not see fit to ...

I shoot the r3 wirelessly tethered to my MacBook peer-to-peer. My photos appear on DPP on the laptop which is a nice album interface for the clients. It is not the fastest image transfer at ...

OK, that helps. But I would really like to hear from someone who shoots a lot of basketball. The fact that the next poster states that the 28-70 RF is not quite as fast as the 70-200 EF puts me at ...

Could you tell us how the speed of autofocus compares to your 24-70mm?

Shoot some dark tree branches against a white or otherwise bright sky. Look for CA and purple-type fringing, particularly in the corners of the frame.

Isn't it great how the camera will focus on an animal's eyes!

Did you experiment with pinhole sizes? What were your camera settings? Can you post a ROOTC image? Did you make your pinhole in the standard cover that comes with the camera?

Flower is upside down.

I have been photographing hummingbirds in the American Southwest with multiple flash setups for more than 15 years. But now I am content to merely observe or try an occasional backyard ...

Yes, I apologize for not searching thoroughly enough. My bad. But there is a work around for the R3: After the viewfinder, screen dimmer and power off time out, the power to IS will automatically ...

Canon CPS confirmed this with me. Lens IS will run continuously unless it is turned off on the lens, or the camera is powered off.

Shutter 1/8000 sec, 1DX2. Given an elastic collision, once a ball leaves a bat, or a club, or a racket, it is no longer deformed.

I am hard pressed to see R3 rolling shutter in the fast moving sports I shoot for my work. This is good for me! This is not the case for the EOS R and the FuijFilm X-t2, in my personal experience. ...
