    $4,399.00cited in 17 videosfirst cited September 2021speaks highly of it

    “The new Canon EOS R3 is incredibly fast but I was also equally impressed with the new vehicle detection AF feature, as long as the camera can frame the full vehicle, it just locks on to it, making shooting cars that much easier – no matter how fast they are…trust me!”
