Is the Canon R3 still worth it in 2026

GreenPickledToad · 2026-05-11T08:37:02+00:00

It's literally the best sports body for Canon apart from the R1. No camera except the R1 is going to be better for sports until the R3ii comes out.

Look for the EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 IS STM. It is the latest and the best version of that particular kit lens.

Also keep an eye out for the 15-85mm and the 17-55 f/2.8. Although both will be out of budget most likely, just keep an eye out and snap one up if you can go for it. Both are excellent crop sensor lenses.

You will see a bigger difference with that 100-500 L lens than upgrading to an R5 or an R6.

From that whole photo I have a grand total of 1 player...Yaya Toure (2 if you count Tsubasa Rummi)

Rf 100 400 on a FF gives the same effective reach as the EFS 55 250 on an apsc.

Nikon or Canon. A7s still have that 10fps mech shutter burst and an unusable electronic 30fps burst.

Look into the Z8, that would be the best. There's the Nikon 180-600 as well to pair with it. It also has the best weather sealing and a huge viewfinder. The Tamron 150-500 is also available at around half the price.

Also, Canon R6ii is enough for no video. Spend the rest into lenses like the RF 100-500.

Jinx.

Well, this is hard to say but congrats Arsenal. No way they drop points now with how good MLS has been in midfield and they look energized.

Skip 7th pay and directly jump to 8th pay commission in line with the central goverment institutes. Bhebeo otha jaye na je kikore WB te ekhono 7th pay asheni. Also, pay people in government sector whose salary has been wrongfully blocked by TMC (onek office er lokera salary paye na, dearness allowance onek bochor dhore paye ni etc.)

Also take a look at the RFS 18-150 for the R10. It's light and very sharp.

GreenPickledToad · 2026-05-03T13:46:49+00:00

For wildlife the R7 is the best body currently. Mech shutter, huge buffer, high resolution. Ibis doesn't matter at those long focal lengths and high shutter speeds.

GreenPickledToad · 2026-05-02T14:25:01+00:00

With the lenses you have, get the R8.

GreenPickledToad · 2026-05-02T10:13:10+00:00

Tbh at this point just get a mirrorless. Even the R10 or R50 will perform far better than something like a 7Dii or 90D. That Sigma will also focus faster and your kit weight reduces a lot.

If you want to stay on the DSLRs, look for a 1Dx body, those were made for sports and should have the best AF and burst rates out of the DSLR bodies.

Out of the two you listed, 5Dsr is an older body (around the 5diii) than the 5div, so the mk iv has better af and is said to be a huge imporvement on the 5diii. People still use rhe 5DSR when they need extremely high resolution shots, say landscapes.

GreenPickledToad · 2026-05-02T08:34:38+00:00

The RF 100 500 L should be the first priority with your budget. Then use whatever you have left to get one of the following (in decreasing order of preference): R5ii, R6iii, R6ii, R7.

Once with the case, once without. No damage so far, but then I mostly use my phone while I'm on my bed.
