MIRRORLESS REVIEW Inside the Box ✓ Camera body✓ Body cap ✓ Battery pack ✓ Battery charger✓ Strap✓ Instruction Manual What? An autofocus system that allows you to autofocus just by moving your eyeball? Yes, that’s correct. Canon had this feature in an earlier model, but the one in the EOS R3 uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) which the earlier system did not possess. The camera is designed for various genres of photographers – wildlife, sports & action, wedding and of course, for movie professionals (video, cinematography). Along with newer technology, the EOS R3, in my opinion, reigns supreme in Canon’s vast array of cameras. Design & Build Quality The camera body is built with magnesium alloy. It feels solid, and at the same time, is 30% lighter and 15% shorter than…

The black sections have been given a leather-like texture. The body is light and sturdy…

The world around us is beautiful and we try to capture the beauty as we see it. We have subjects that are ‘still’ and we have subjects that are constantly in motion. Generally, but not always, we use the ‘video’ feature in our cameras to capture constant movement, while non-moving subjects are captured using the ‘still’ camera. However, while using the ‘still’ camera for moving subjects like waterfalls, streams, rivers, seas etc., the settings we use – primarily the shutter speed – determines how the moving subject will appear in our ‘still’ photographs. Unfortunately, there is no way to predetermine the final effect or ‘look’ that we’ll obtain using different shutter speeds. Too fast a shutter speed, and you’ll ‘freeze’ the action; too slow the shutter speed, and you might…
