I recently added the R5 to my lineup (alongside R6mk2) and debated replacing the mk2 with the R3. I am predominantly a sports shooter but also do events and birds etc. Personal preference is to ...

I cant stand the R7 control structure and will always take 3 adjustment wheels over 2

Thanks - especially for the insights on the big whites (I'll keep a 1dx/ii too) I ended up ordering a damaged box R5 (will work out to ~$2500USD) - the extra resolution will be useful for a few ...

Yeah I'm using older glass so AF won't be as fast, maybe the r3 won't provide as much improvement given lens will be limiting factor

Yeah but I'm not unhappy with the rolling shutter on the r6mk2.... I guess it depends how bad the r5's is in comparison. At higher iso if it was that bad I'd just use the r6mk2

Thanks, what generation of 600mm? And yeah r5 MK2 will be out at some point and be clearly more expensive than what I can get an r5 for now I'd also have to factor in cost of a grip for the r5, ...

I currently have an r6mk2 which i really like as a general purpose camera body. Predominantly a sports shooter (with a good mix of events, portraits, wildlife) thrown in. my long lenses are a 400mm ...

Can recommend the sigma 135mm 1.8 - great lens with full green h+ fps on the r6

have been interested in this lens for a while also. I primarily shoot a spot where players can be very far away or very close up in an instant so the flexibility of the zoom + TC option is ...

Sony manufactures sensors for some other brands (not canon), they don't design them etc. Sony will keep this one in their own stable until their next generation.

dreaming at that pricing

i can understand the love for the 1DX I own one (now a backup), sold an R6 and now use the 1dx mkii and r6mkii For my sports work id happily shoot the 1dx without an issue, mirrorless is better for ...

aperture wide open, shutter speed high enough to not blow out when the sun is out Auto ISO to bump up when under cloud Metering usually spot but depends on specific scenario

Of when there is cloud cover going over a sporting field.

auto iso

Its hard to quantify if some things will be an issue for your specific usage
only one to be ruled out immediately was the lack of vertical grip - and if everything else was...

i bought one and its now up for sale, so suffice to say i was disappointed in comparison to my R6

Main downsides
- rolling shutter in electronic mode
- blackout/shutter shock in mechanical mode
-...

Does make me miss my D3S - wasnt my first full-frame camera (the D700 was) but the increased high-iso performance was welcome.

Moved onto D4/D4S after and yes they were better overall but the D3S...

how am i going to argue with all the silly fanboys now? :(

i have opted for the 300mm focal length when shooting motorsport, its a fair chunk lighter to cart km's around a race track all day and can make panning a little easier.
If im static i prefer the...
