Today's question from Brian U. is, “I shoot high school sports and have my Canon R3 cameras set up almost exactly like yours. What is a normal number of 'keepers' after a 750-shot effort? For me, it is around 70 images where I’ve captured faces, numbers, and action. I don’t know whether this is good or bad. How many do you keep in a typical shoot?”
