[@martinstokes5596]

Good luck with the new kit Mark..I am sure your going to love it and get some great images..

[@TheGallimorejonathan]

Great video Mark, could feel your excitement. Christmas came early. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

[@Zoran1899]

It was great to see how happy you are when you see your new RF glass. Be like this all the time!

[@virmin32]

The very best of with new kit Mark, you won’t be disappointed R3 great camera

[@juelraun]

Congratulations 🎉❤ Enjoy your beast 🤪

[@Agnivolok1]

😊😁 the look of a happy man unboxing his favorite toys :) Enjoy! Cheers and looking fwd to the next video with this pair at work.

[@JGZphotography]

Congratulations Mark on the extraordinary camera / lens matchup. I have two R3s, including the V2 of the EF-400mm, for sporting events. I do recommend to use a minimum fo 256GB CFexpress card for RAW shooting and a 128GB SDii card for JPG redundancy. I always use the R3s at 30 FPS electronic mode for the peak action ball and player proximities. 15 FPS gave too much spacing. You will discover the labyrinth of R3 menu settings that can be mind-blowing. Haha! I have enjoyed your footbul (soccer) videos, which has inspired my joy covering outdoor sports. Keep rolling up the good work mate.

[@karlgormley1199]

Best of luck with the new camera,you will not be disappointed. I shoot sports in Ireland and use an R3 and my trusty 1dxii as well as an R5 but my go to for all types of shooting is hands down the R3. Great content and real world advice 👍

[@weddingbells100]

Many congratulations on your new R3 and the new RF400 look forward to seeing your videos on how they perform, I'm sure you will be amazed at the quality that will come out of the R3.

[@jarlathmcnee3833]

Went straight to the R3! Congratulations

[@puckdropimages]

Nice one, got my R3 last week. Mind blowing camera. Used it to shoot the CFL Playoffs in Vancouver, Canada and man it doesn't miss a beat with a few basic set up adjustments.

[@mvp_kryptonite]

Legend in the making combo. Enjoy

[@MarkKerton]

Haha, not sure about that?!

[@chriswynne505]

Congratulations Mark welcome to the mirrorless club let your new learning curve begin you won't look back, mate 👊

[@davidmag479]

You'll love it once you get it set up the way you want. Thats where it can be a minefield. Took us months to get settings sorted to preserve battery life and set-up the subject tracking to work for sport. Once sorted its an absolute gem. Enjoy.

[@shaunwaring-jones4858]

Nice new toys

[@doditodi]

Congratulations, not jealous or anything 😊

[@paultrunfull3324]

Looks like we have a happy bunny there !

[@PuppaGab]

Hi Mark, a little message to say thank you! I learned a lot from watching your football videos, I am a beginner photographer and I started taking photos of my godson's team a few months ago and your videos helped me a lot (I uses a Nikon D7200 (APS-C) with a Nikon 70-200 f/4) Congratulations for your new camera and lens, looking forward to seeing your next videos. Greetings from France! ps: love your reaction at 11:57!

[@moshikohn5955]

im still using a d7000 lol just going to hopefly buy a second hanbd 70-200 vrii or a d500

[@richardpill8322]

Good for you! You will love the R3, I use it for wildlife and also have the 1Dxiii, to be honest they are very different cameras and both have different strong and not so strong points. I set up three back button focuses on the R3, zone, eye and spot and it works great in most situations, the 1Dxiii is much better in low light but you won’t have that problem! See Whistling wings photography for hot to set up if you are interested. Anyway off to photo deer now😊 all the best, Rich.

[@Sam-mc2dk]

What an exciting day!! Early Christmas for you. Congratulations on the new kit!! I was wondering, does your insurance have a deductible? Thanks for sharing your experience. We enjoyed it with you and I am looking forward to seeing you put it to good use. Cheers!!

[@samfielding2659]

Would love to know where you got the camera case from and also the 400mm protection, would be perfect for my R3 and EF 400mm. Great video once again! Welcome to the Mirrorless club 👌🏼

[@sportsshooter2574]

Congrats!! I would recommend to replace the foot with a Leofoto one. It will help if the original one is like new if you ever decide to sell the lens.

[@davec28]

Ooooo !!! And it's not even Christmas yet 😁😁👍👍

[@gerryshanahan1]

Happy hunting!

[@johnmallett2217]

The little bits of padding with the RF400 velcro into the carry case to secure the lens once you have unwrapped it. Good luck with the R3 set up, you will love the EV to review images on the fly. Dont forget to check/upgrade firmware to 1.5.1 then try 1/64000 with 195fps !! Also worth considering moving to BBF. There are so many AF options available I use different settings on different back buttons.

[@pablogarcia7945]

felicitaciones!!💪💪💪

[@Travelleramit]

Namaste from India Congratulations on your new R3 Happy clicking Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️

[@thomasbednarowski1651]

Great combo especially for fast action/sport. For wildlife I have mixed thoughts. Its better when focusing but in some scenarios R3 lacks mpix and R5 is more suitable.

[@riotrob]

You’re going to be 100% mirrorless faster then u think. It is game changing. Hope you got an ef-rf adapter.

[@spikephotography]

You were so excited mate I could tell when you said it was a bit small for your little finger but you’d not got your forefinger on the shutter button haha 😂 The new 400mm 2.8L is great I hired the EF version in 2020 and it was incredible - the RF is the same lens with an EF/RF adaptor welded on! Cheers Spike

[@stubones]

I was very close to trading my 1DX ii and R6 ii in, for a R3, but I decided against it in the end. I still wish I could have, but having a great camera (R6 ii) and the 1DX ii as redundancy was made relevant when one of my colleagues' 1DX ii bricked itself and he'd forgotten to pack his second one in the bag.... He was forced to use an old 1D4, much to his dismay lol Using the R6 ii for indoor events such as martial arts and gymnastics is a game changer and I don't feel the R3 would do any better, so I've resigned myself to keeping the R6 ii for the foreseeable future.

[@WingoverVideos]

The R3 is superb ... The 400mm is astonishing ...

[@cpnock]

Look forward to your comments next week. Looks like the weather will hold for you at least. Enjoy.

[@user-sw2wq2xo8f]

Поздравляю с великолепным приобретением Вас Mark! Canon R3 + RF крутая связка. Привет из Казахстана 🇰🇿

[@dwightd1161]

I have an R3 and a 1DX Mark iii and it is hard to say but I want to use the R3 all the time for everything

[@NikCan66]

Happier than Charlie getting the keys 🔑 to Willie Wonka Choclate Factory 🏭

[@guelbergoes]

Congratulations with your purchase. It's super exciting to open new gear. However, I have decided to not buy the R3 as I am looking for the R1 but I won't buy it in the first year of launching anyway. It's a business decision as I don't see any benefit that is a game changer and I understand that I can't get out of business by having a DSLR (specially a 1dxm3). So in my opinion it's pointless to spend this obscene amount of money for "no reason". Honeslty, sometimes I fancy that I can shoot the next 20 years with a DSLR and nobody will notice. Specially with people selling their 1dxm2 and m3 for bananas prices.

[@spikephotography]

Yes I agree a camera is only as good as the person pressing the button. I’ve invested in the 1DX Mk3 after trialling it in 2020 lockdown, hopefully they will keep updating the software whilst it is still a current camera although knowing Canon I am doubtful.

[@kevcleaver]

What waterproof cover do you use with the RF400 please Mark?

[@rubyredphoto]

When everyone watching is living their dream lives through Mark haha!

[@ListenEar]

HI Mark.. If it is your 1st Canon Mirrorless.. Should the rear screen stop working... You have probably switched it off while you are twiddling about. To remedy, press the Menu Button and look in the viewfinder.. you can navigate the menu and switch it back on.! ( Guess what happened to me on my 1st Event with my New R5! :-D )

[@algie1962]

Like a kid at Christmas. 😁 Not jealouus in the slightest🙄 Keep the vids coming

[@guidoVX]

It would be great to see some live viewfinder footage while you shoot football

[@johncolebrook8894]

I just grabbed an R5C - much nicer than the Sonys IMO.

[@photosteven]

It's a sad day for the EF 400 F2.8 mark 1😢, your going to love the RF 400 just on the weight saving alone!!! Be prepared to love mirrorless and hate going back to your other cameras once you use to eye tracking, touch display, exposure displayed in the view finder and reviewing images.

[@MLeeMedia]

Aleluia for insurance, congratulations Mark!

[@dbenedict357]

Program that * button for eye focus! You will be amazed at what you can do!

[@dreadnoughtphotowerkz]

Congratulations on your purchases. I love my R-3 and EF 400 combo. I have been saving to get a RF400 but I haven't done it yet. Now I want to save and use the money I have towards a RF 100-300mm. I just believe I'll get more bang for my buck with the RF100-300mm. What are your thoughts?

[@jeffkernen1554]

I'm also saving up for the 100-300mm. It's such a versatile lens that I'll be able to use for sports as well as events, theatre work, speeches, etc.

[@dreadnoughtphotowerkz]

@jeffkernen1554 My point exactly 💯 don't get me wrong I really love my 400 but that 100-300 I think is a real game changer by Canon. Happy shooting.

[@user-sw2wq2xo8f]

❤❤❤

[@Kaptiv3]

Heya Mark, if it's not too personal, I was wondering if you struggle at all getting paid day rate, as I can imagine it leads to you not getting 5 days a week worth of work, unless u aim to do that much. It's one of my big worries looking into the future about going professional (not getting enough jobs to get a good income)

[@azimages2538]

My latch has broken on my old 400mm f2.8. Anyone got any suggestions if they be repaired or I need to get a new hood

[@olenielsen6525]

Note this Mark: The hot shoe cover of rubber are you going to lose! But secure it with a piece of tape, then you won't lose it.

[@marcioslsouza]

You look like a kid when they get new toys... Have fun, dude!

[@andylister9919]

What are you going to like at Christmas? 🙂

[@cadmus777]

I'm filling out insurance quotes right now...

[@maximilianocosta6791]

Congratulations, next time put the camera a little closer and pointing a little more upwards so we can't see absolutely anything, but your head and the curtains. Best regards!

[@MarkKerton]

Well, appreciate your feedback anyway👍🏻

[@maximilianocosta6791]

@@MarkKerton Congratulations on your new equipment, awesome, there were no bad intentions in my comment, I just wish I saw it a little better. Thank you man, greetings!

[@MarkKerton]

@@maximilianocosta6791 You’re right though, I could have held it higher on reflection🙈 Thanks for your support👍🏻

[@Slug24]

The new straps Canon ships with their cameras are absolute shit compared to the older one.

[@paulhendren5603]

Bugger it Mark. It was like watching Canon porn. Enjoy the new machines and next time you pass old timers (like yours truly) who financially continue to use old kits please give us a supportive tap on the shoulders. We will be ok….
