Awesome. I am going to sell my A7II and either buy a second A9 or an R3 so I have been looking into the R3 more and more. Sony has made a huge number of improvements since the A7II. The out of camera JPEG sharpening and noise reduction are really, really good. OOC JPEGs from Sony were awful for years. Worse than Pentax, but Sony has obviously been paying attention and put in the work/ The menus are still not great, but they are 10x better than they were on the A7II. Mostly I want consistency in the controls. For years I shot with two systems side by side and that was just stupid. I look back at it and want to slap myself. I want the R3, but I will probably get a second A9 so I have all the controls in the same place. Few things are more frustrating than switching cameras in the middle of the wedding and having to stop and think about how to make a change because you are trying to memorize 2 menu systems.
I would follow the Fred Miranda forum if you are not already. A lot of good discussion by professionals who are using Sony for everything from weddings to BIF. What lenses are you going to start with?
