Before you gave money to Canon, you could have checked the status of exiv2
and rawspeed.

Here's what you should do:
https://discuss.pixls.us/t/canon-cr3-raw-support-your-move/14192?u=johnny-bit

For time being you can convert your CR3 to DNG with no loss of image
information and metadata.

Remember - YOU supported canon with your purchase, you should expect THEM
to help open source devs with CR3 support, not other way around.
