Well that is the whole point. Starting with R5 II, and R3 / R1 there will be very very few reasons not to use it. And even on R6 I go EC whenever there is action and faster fps involved because it is not only faster and mostly adequate that almost nobody can tell the difference, but also I just can't deal with lag and blackout of that inadequate EVF in any other mode.


It does quite well at 20fps in ES mode on the R5 and R6. I used it at a few indoor games, but not much. The anti-flicker control on the R6 only works with the actual shutter, and it was too slow after having been spoiled with 20fps*. I too shoot almost exclusively in ES on these two bodies as it is hardly noticeable in most circumstances (rolling shutter effect is hardly noticeable). I have tried an R3 though, and I'll be honest I can't really see a big difference in the EVF. I never had a problem tracking anything in the R6 EVF, and I always felt the 'blackout' was way less jarring than the mirror flip on the DSLRs. But people commonly complain about it so I guess in this case its 'just me' who doesn't mind the EVF in those bodies for action tracking.

*Its amazing how after 9 years of a 5DIII meeting my every need at 6fps, it took like 1 soccer game at 20fps for it to feel like a dinosaur!



Hey don’t knock the 5diii, I still use it for sons football. ….20fps!!!… I shoot single shot and average 1500-1700 each match . The bulk of which are sharp, but some just miss the peak action, but still come away with 600-800 each game. At 20fps I dread to consider the editing nightmare.
