Going for a R3 in mid 2024, or wait for the R1?

Both, sound good to Me. But I am in Canada and have not seen a refurb yet, nor any used ones locally.

There are some, and its 4K refurb on Canon website, ended up getting a new one from Best Buy for their 0 interest financing

That's funny, because R5 has often felt SO easy to use. Way easier than ANY Canon camera I've ever used in the past 20 years. The autofocus performance alone is such a huge step up from the dSLR system it almost feels like no skills are required at all.

Even my lowly R has a fantastic hit rate over my former 5D Mark III. I can't imagine how good the R5 must be with it's focus system and speed.
