Does the new FLAGSHIP CANON R1 deliver in real world results in the field?

Wow, congrats on being an ambassador, glad Canon recognized your great work

Now he can’t say anything negative about canon products.

[@brodyandsole7394]

@@josephtitus5459he’s never focused on gear. He’s more of techniques and how to get more out of your camera/lens. He will be promoting canon which he uses anyway. It’s just nice that he gets recognised.

[@josephtitus5459]

@@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?

I was really happy when I heard "Canon ambassador " ❤

[@ketul12341]

I had to watch this video 2 times , because at first I was so mesmerized by the photos that you took that I didnt hear anything what you were saying , marvelous photography . Truly inspirational

[@ryanjmauchmar]

You're truly an inspiration Simon. Your photographs are phenomenal, and your professorial delivery is incendiary and contagious. Congratulations on the well-deserved promotion by Canon!

[@simon_dentremont]

Wow, thank you!

[@dennisjones5579]

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_dentremont]

Too kind!

[@Twobarpsi]

If I didn't shoot Canon, I would shoot Nikon. I watch a lot of Nikon photographers. If the photo and advice is relevant I don't care which camera was used. Simon is one of the best!

[@tommynikon2283]

Dennis- same here; my first Nikon was in 1974. Too lazy to change families.

[@dennisjones5579]

@@tommynikon2283 My first Nikon FE was in 1980. Admittedly I bought a Fuji x100v last year as a travel camera to take to Italy. I've enjoyed using it to some degree but I now have a Zf, which I love and am contemplating selling the Fuji.

Hi Simon Sir , Glad to know that you became the brand ambassador of Canon , Hearty Congratulations to you about it . 🎉 I am from India and I have been watching each and every video of yours , my words are falling short to describe how your videos have helped me to achieve a good skill in wildlife photography and also in other geners . Thanks for sharing your invaluable knowledge with us . 🙏🙏🙏

Canon just scored a GREAT ambassador!!!!! Congratulation you certainly deserve it!!!!!

[@planetcaravan2925]

You mean propagandist?

[@StoicJason]

Simon has rocketed himself to the top of the KZbin 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.

[@simon_dentremont]

too kind!

[@Fahad_Naduvilakath]

A trusted voice for a fair and thorough review. Canon chose well. Congrats on being an ambassador.

[@brodyandsole7394]

Long time coming. Glad canon has recognised your wonderful work. You have inspired me to be interested in wildlife photography.

[@calebizsol]

I've been living in Botswana for 12 years and there is always amazing subjects. Come back and do some macro. People always go for the big 5, but its the small things that opens your eyes. I'm using an R3 and it is more than enough.

[@rsa008]

Am I the only one who think that your pics with the R1 is a major step up from the other pics you have taken? I am not saying you other photos are bad, but this is very good. Insane clarity and noise. Very great color rendering.

[@kurtisca]

Simon, I've come to really enjoy and look forward to your content. You provide immense value in your videos and don't turn one or two tips into a lengthy videos, like some channels do. Keep up the great work!

[@davelindey8023]

I’m a lifelong Nikon shooter and at my vintage would never consider a switch to the “evil empire” yet I enjoyed and appreciate how you presented this content. I wish that Nikon “Ambassadors” would be so thoughtful. Having said that I am always leery of most Ambassadors as they may not always present a totally unbiased impression as they all “get free toys to play with”. Well done content!

[@SanXStreet]

Started shooting birds seeing you. Despite of gear problem and shortage manage to get pleasant photos 😁 thanks a lot Simon. Love from West Bengal, India.

Congratulations on being a Canon ambassador. What would you personally choose?R5ii vs. R1

[@dianebouchard5691]

Your use of the little owl to explain a concept is so good! I'm glad you didn't retire the little guy. Your comparisons were so simply and easily understood, right on par with all of your videos

[@kalinmir]

These were some breathtaking photographs showcased, thank you.

[@Kellysher]

R5 shooter here. The R1 and the R5ii look amazing. They’re unfortunately out of my budget currently. Now that you have Canons ear, tell them to release the R7ii asap! I’m darn curious about getting more reach with my 100-500 lens! Go get them Simon!!

[@indiotizado]

Wow! Congratulations, Simon! Your hard work payed out. It's been an amazing journey and I'm glad I was able to witness it! Congrats again!

[@DanaPushie]

Congrats on the ambassadorship and, yet another great video Simon. After this video it's not hard to understand why a sports or wildlife photographer might be seriously interested in considering the R1. Thanks for the fantastic specs rundown and the stellar photo examples. Hats off to you Simon.

[@michaelanderberg]

Thank you for a really great review! I am trying to decide between the R1 and the R5mkII and it’s not easy :) You’ve gained a sub as well. Also some really great shots in there!

[@philippelang.photographie]

Thanks Simon, congratulations for being a Canon Ambassador now! Totally deserved. I'd be happy to see an R5 (or ev. R5 Mark II) vs R1 comparison for high ISO pictures (12800 & 25600) with a severe crop. I could imagine the R1 giving better results even with less pixels, given its better low-noise performance.

[@simon_dentremont]

Great suggestion!

[@valmaivorster4826]

Wow Simon you had a really good time in Botswana with the R1 Canon camera. It takes very good photos and videos and I am sure you are impressed with this camera. Magnificent photos you took with it. Wild life photographers will forsure love this camera with all it's amazing features.

[@sterlingvernon-bn3vp]

Hi Simon, thanks for presenting this Canon R1 and an honest and fair review. It's good having the Buttons in the right place, it can get frustrating when it's difficult and not second nature. What stood out for me was having the Low Pass Filter, it makes a difference. The image quality is fantastic and the colours are like what we see in the field. I've learnt something new today and I appreciate you sharing it with us viewers. Thanks Simon 😊

Great stuff as always, Simon! You do an amazing job (both with your photos and your videos here), and you make it look easy. Congratulations on your "ambassadorship"! I'm sure the R1 is a monster piece of equipment, but for now I'm happy to stick with my R6 Mk II (and my 1DX Mk III, and 7D Mk II, and 20D, and 300D). 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. Christmas isn't that far away...
