I checked your gallery to try to find out what kind of images you're talking about, but can't see any that looks like multiple exposures.
Do you mind sharing what kind of pictures you're talking about? The few multi exposures I've done have been such experiments that they could just as well have come out as jpegs.

I haven't checked up on the Multiple Exposure feature of newer Canons, but I remember testing one of the first implementations several years ago, and the camera was not allowing multiple exposures to reduce noise, because the camera always ran NR on the existing stack before adding another image, it seems, as the noise seemed to be the noise of a single photo, with none of the reduced noise expected with stacking. I found that very disappointing.

The reason noise usually reduces with stacking is because the positive and negative noise "errors" from various frames cancel each other out, and cancel more, the more you stack, but if you smooth the existing images first, there is nothing in the existing stack to cancel any noise of the added image. This is a bizarre situation where NR actually INCREASES noise!

There are a few on my instagram and my homepage. Not many on flickr.

Here are a few examples, taken with the R5 / 5DSR:

Somehow i can't link the images directly.

Orchideenquartett
Zwei Leberbluemchen
Red
Lichtfall
Helmling

Are a few examples.

Only yesterday did I discover this 11-1/2-minute long video and at the same time, learn of this photographer.
While this is not specifically an EOS R3 video, this woman states that she uses two of them.
Additionally, I feel that the subject matter may be of interest to many R3 owners:

Thanks for sharing this, great stuff. I don't shoot sports, but found this very interesting.

Looks like Canon R3's can be used to argue sports action. :-

I've had managers come over to me during football matches to see what images I have on the laptop if theres an incident on the pitch which they feel went against their team.
Its something I shy away from to be honest as you can end up getting targeted by the opposing teams supporters if they feel you're giving support to the opposition.

Fans is short for fanatics. And they are oftentimes crazy!

Sounds like there are protocols which are carefully followed, including how non-calls are handled. It seems that non-calls are simply a part of the game, and are not subject to revisiting (unlike some other sports where instant replay is used for getting a second look at fouls and other judgement calls).

The player's actions stand on their own and earned him a penalty.

Just another thing to keep in your mind when a person is out and about with a camera.

Also, I'm sure the photographer would have liked to have his equipment in-hand, to photograph the protest.

I don't know if the photographer was asked to relinquish that camera. If not, then taking it from same, is not cool.

Unfortunately, as photographers, we are an easy target for fans both inside and outside the stadium. Because we're often sitting in between fans and the action on the pitch we can get caught up if there are any incidents of flares, smoke bombs, bangers and even rockets.
I witnessed a guy beside me take a direct hit from an exploding firework on his shoulder which caused him serious burns to his head and a perforated ear drum. The firework was thrown from opposition fans to the left of us. He's never been back to a soccer match since. I don't believe he was deliberately targeted, but just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time as someone tossed the missile towards the pitch.
I was covering another local fixture a few months back between two rival teams in the same city and had smoke bombs, glass bottles and fire crackers landing beside me throughout the match. Makes it hard to concentrate on taking photos of the game, but you just keep your head down and hope that nothing comes your direction.
Sports photography ain't for the feint hearted.

The EOS R3 camera body is now $5,600 USD (a $400 savings) at B&H, at Canon USA, and most likely across the board.

Agree 100%

I bought today. Got an amazing deal and will now have to read this entire thread

I am sure I will have questions.

I noticed an issue with the R3 when using the EF 85 mm f/1.4L IS USM.
This lens requires the stabilizer mechanism to "park" before you remove it from the camera. If you don't allow this, the mechanism will rattle all the time when moving the lens around, and that's not good for it. Parking is no issue when using it on a DSLR, like the 1DX Mark II or whatever. Just let go of the shutter button, wait half a second or a second to be sure and remove the lens. It's now parked.
But not so with the R3. Since it doesn't have an optical viewfinder, it will keep the electronic viewfinder active for a while after letting half-press of the shutter button go. While this is going on the lens will not park the stabilizer!
There are three ways around this:

1. Turn the camera off completely and then you can remove the lens in good order a few seconds later.
   
2. Wait for viewfinder timeout, viewfinger goes to sleep and then you can remove the lens in good order.
   
3. Remove the lens, immediately mount it on a DSLR and remove it again. Now it's parked.
