It’s a superb viewfinder that very much impressed us on the R5, and it's hard to find a better one elsewhere (aside from Sony's A1). EVF and screen: the R3 and R5 share similar viewfinders, but the R3 wins for screen resolutionīoth the R3 and the R5 are packing almost identical 0.5-inch OLED electronic viewfinders, boasting 5.76m dots and 0.76x magnification. That’s far less likely to be an issue with the R3, with its lower-resolution sensor and lower maximum resolution for video indeed, Canon promises that the R3 can record up to six hours of “regular” video.Įssentially, both the R5 and the R3 are powerful video tools, but it’s the R3 which is likely to be considered the more practical all-rounder, particularly for those who are shooting multiple types of content.
Being able to shoot in CRM (Cinema Raw Light) is another benefit of the R3, helping to keep file sizes on the right side of manageable.Īlthough eventually improved via a firmware upgrade, the EOS R5’s issues with overheating while recording video made headlines for all the wrong reasons. On top of that, you can also record 4K at 120fps with the R3, bringing slow-motion functionality which will certainly be a boon for action and sports photographers. The stacked sensor should also mean we see very little in the way of rolling shutter. The benefit of oversampling is usually that it brings greater detail and lower noise, so it'll be interesting to see how it performs in real-world tests. With video content often being equally important as stills content for professionals, the R3 needs to be able to handle the two equally well.Īlthough the R3 doesn’t have the headline 8K specification of the R5, it does offer a still above average 6K at 60p, as well as the possibility of recording oversampled 4K at 60p. Video: the R3 is a true hybrid camera offering 6K and oversampled 4K, while the R5 hits 8K Those who already have the EOS R5 and/or the EOS 1DX Mark III can share FTP settings seamlessly between their cameras if they have the WFT-R10, too. You can also access FTP servers wirelessly by adding the Wireless File Transmitter (WFT-R10), which is available as an accessory for either the R5 or the R3. However, as ever, those pesky professionals demand just a little bit more, so you’ll find an inbuilt Gigabit Ethernet port for the R3, allowing for the super-speedy transfer of those all-important images that need to be transmitted instantaneously to news desks and the like via FTP over the fastest wired connections.
It’s pretty much unheard of for a camera in a current lineup not to have some sort of wireless connectivity, and naturally both the R3 and R5 are fully hooked up with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
CANON EOS R VS R5 PROFESSIONAL
Connectivity: the R3 offers super-fast transmission for the professional user The potential for capturing split-second action and truly freezing it is fantastic, and clearly steps above and beyond the R5’s 1/8000 sec although again, it’s likely to be a niche requirement. Not only that, Canon promises that the traditional problems that can occur when using electronic shutters have been “all but eliminated” thanks to specs such as Flicker detection and High-Frequency anti-flicker shooting.īoth the R3 and R5 offer 12fps shooting when you switch to the mechanical shutter, but if Canon’s promises about that electronic shutter capability prove to be true, professionals may well be more than happy to stick with shooting using that.Īnother massive benefit of the EOS R3 is the ability to shoot at super-fast shutter speeds up to 1/64000 second.
CANON EOS R VS R5 FULL
It’s here again that the R3 steps things up, offering a maximum 30fps with full AF tracking via the electronic shutter. The Canon EOS R5 offers burst shooting of up to 20fps (with the electronic shutter) and 12fps with the mechanical shutter. Speed demon: it's almost impossible to miss a shot with the R3 – but the R5 is no slouch either Sony A1 shows the ‘no compromise’ camera isn’t possible, but it comes pretty close.The Canon EOS R5, meanwhile, still performs extremely admirably for more ordinary subjects, and is able to focus on the eyes of both people and animals.
You even get the kind of nuance that enables a distinction between a racing car driver’s helmet and the vehicle, taking much of the guesswork out of what would generally otherwise be an extremely tricky subject to nail.Īll of that said, unless you actually are a F1 photographer, having all of this tech on board is very nice to have, but may very well go unused by the average photographer. Other technical AF nous includes the ability to lock into focus at -7.5EV (very low light), an improvement from the R5’s -6EV (a bit brighter, but not much), and Deep Learning algorithms which you give the ability to track certain subjects such as vehicles, animals and humans.
