      @@brodyandsole7394 he has never focused on gear. But, he has said stuff about gear and how good particular canon products are. Now he cannot say anything negative about canon products anymore. Hopefully he doesn’t ever do canon product reviews like Vanessa Joy has when in actuality they were just product showcases because she is contractually obliged to not say anything negative about canon products.
      Also is this not a gear video?

    As a life long Nikon shooter, I typically delete videos r/t Canon, since I haven't had any interest in them. However, when it comes to your videos, watching is a must. And, as usual you didn't disappoint. I certainly hope Canon realizes how fortunate they are to have someone as talented as you to be their Ambassador. The quality of your video in showcasing the camera's qualities is almost enough to make me want to change systems. But.... I have too much $$ tied up in Nikon and am happy with the results I'm getting. Anyway, I'm hoping they give you an R1 when the production model is available. Your video alone will be responsible for MANY sales IMHO. Well done as usual sir!

    Simon has rocketed himself to the top of the UA-cam subject matter expert list when it comes to wildlife photography and Canon cameras. It’s for good reason that he was selected as a Canon ambassador. I couldn’t give a hoot (pun intended) about wildlife photography but I find myself watching every one of his videos. You click his videos because of the beautiful photos and interesting topics but you stay for his fatherly style of instruction that is unmatched.

    The R1 looks like a beast, beautiful images there Simon. We have gotten to a time with pre-capture that it’s almost like cheating, but it still requires great skills. I fell in love with my Sony A7RV when I went to Castillo De St. Marcos Monument in St. Augustine at night with the little spot light they had shining at the building. My wife was shocked when she saw the images, considering how dark it was and I caught a man moving through one of my shots.
    I shot handheld at between 5 seconds and well under that and with decent breathing techniques, and the eight stops of image stabilization, I was getting amazing sharpe images. I didn’t think image stabilization, which I often took for granted considering my old DasLR days. I can normally shoot down to 15 to 30 (Mirrorless or DSLR) seconds and still get good images, but I practiced this technique and controlling my breathing for years, several times a week, obviously not using a 300-600mm lens of course at f2.8.

Maybe some day I could justify the purchase of another flagship body, but I'd probably have to go into the Witness Protection program if my wife ever found out about it. 😉Having just added the 100-500 RF to my arsenal, however, I can see myself being tempted to add the 70-200 as well.
