Unboxing my Canon R3 Cameras

I finally got my hands on Canon's new mirrorless camera and it's slick. This year I'll be using the brand new Canon R3 for my F1 photography. Join me here for the unboxing of my 2 new Canon R3 cameras.

great to see an initial review from a working professional.

Don't have a clue about professional cameras but this was really interesting. Hope you enjoy shooting with them. Heres to many more great shots of F1 🍻

Makes my 40D look obsolete which it is, Lifelong Canon fan started with AE1 back in 70s showing my age now! All the best for new season thank you for all the work you do.

I've been using the R5 for nearly a year and it's just incredible - so the R3 looks even better with the eye focus!

It's one thing being a good photographer it's another making it interesting, thanks for the videos and many great pics this season :)

I work with Canon R5 and they really are remarkable cameras, they test your own abilities, and reward you if you're on it. I've handled an R3 and it completely reminded me of my old, beloved Nikon D3, lovely handling. I hope you'll come back with mid-season, and end of season user reviews of your year with the R3. Have fun!

Your style of video is just great and enjoyable to watch

[dreadnoughtphotowerkz]

I love the 30 frames per second. But the 195 raw frame per second comes in handy when I'm shooting baseball.

I started photography with a Zenith E and I now have the EOS R3 what a difference half a century makes 🤪

Hi kym greetings from Thailand very interesting another top video 😊😊

Always fun opening up a box full of new toys/tools. You will likely adjust quickly to shooting mirrorless. There will be a bit of a learning curve with shooting in electronic shutter vs mechanical. Banding from LED light sources can be an issue with the electronic shutter, but the R3 does have a faster sensor readout speed. Also, you many need to experiment with when to use anti-flickr setting and when not to use it. If you need an even lighter back-up in your kit, the Canon R6 has same/similar sensor to 1DXIII, shoots 12 mech/20 electronic fps, can upload wirelessly through wifi/bluetooth, and has a nice file size. However, it has potentially less weather sealing than R3. Looking forward to seeing shots from the upcoming season!

Got my R3's a couple of months ago even though we got ripped off in the UK I love them so much so you made me hit subscribe .... cheers Hieth

Good video but on DSLRs with a touch screen you don't need a separate device for bulb, just turn touch shutter on and tap screen it will go into bulb mode

[RoryandRory]

Just got myself the canon r6 absolutely love it for the sports photography, hopefully after some hard work the r3 with be in my collection. Also I highly recommend you try out the 100-50 RF lens, just had it for the weekend and it was phenomenal!!!!

When you mentioned your were hoping these cameras came in before you leave, I felt nervous for you. I know you would have been fine but I know what it is like to itch for new gear right before a project begins! Congrats! Happy Travels!

[Juventinos]

a tilt screen is better then a flipout screen for shooting low. much better. flipout is much better for shooting yourself in video.

[hungrybearphotography]

I am a Sony Shooter but I watched the entire video because I love how passionate (haha) you are about your gear. Of course like every other photographer is. But I really enjoy your videos. Can't wait for the new season.

Hey Kym, Please make a video on how you take care of your cameras and lenses on the go. I am sure those are used quite intensively and we need to know some tricks for long-lasting camera equipment.

I've been using my R3 covering sports for a couple of months now. I had to turn off the eye control AF as it was just to erratic. To get it to focus you need to select the subject with the eye and then press and hold the AF back button, it WILL NOT focus with the eye control alone, this is used purely for selecting what to focus on. If you want to change AF position just release the AF back button, refocus with your eye and then press the AF back button again. Hope this helps!
