"...Not an expert at identifying raptors..." - but you are right with this one, female/immature! Nice photos!

It looks like I have the prior version, even though I picked one up at the start of summer. But, that does explain how I got mine on a very good sale .

You can see in one of their pictures that they suggest the tripod attachment could be used for an extra lens case. Playing around with mine, I could see using it for that purpose.

Overall, it works. A bit tight vertically with the R5 and 200-800 mounted. But it is the best solution I found when I looked.

Yes, I got one (the old version) a few weeks ago after reading your post in the RF 200-800mm thread.

The vertical fit with the R5 Mk II is a bit tighter since the EVF of the Mk II extends further. Closing the lid results in a slight bump in the lid.

The FAQ section says this is for the DSLR x-mount, not the mirrorless x-mount

When such once in a lifetime moments happen, any sensible photographer would want as many fps as possible. And this was not taken in a zoo.

And it is an action photo. LOL

would 100mp be good for astro photography? I'm building a setup this coming year and trying to decide on a camera...

Full frame will be better for noise (for the same ISO) and also will provide better selections of wide angle lenses with faster f stop.

I couldn't disagree with this more. I do not believe you do any real action photography.

Hugs and kisses.

Interesting. Apparently the forum software censors some words for penis, such as the one that can also mean a male chicken, tilting something, or the act of preparing a gun to be fired. Well, at least we can say doomed again. And we can use the word 'prick', when appropriate (e.g., in reference to puncturing something, such as an inflated ego).

I'm sure there are many photographers that would be happy to see EDGERIDER speaking for them, so it would seem foolish to state that a person can only speak for themselves.

Are you speaking for yourself or do you believe that you are speaking for others? from here it looks like you believe that you're speaking for others, which would make you ....

I would think anyone developing a 100 mp camera would take you concerns into consideration. That said, I've see Fuji and Hasselblad medium format users shoot handheld without any issue, so it can be done.

Medium Format gives you inherently better low light capability, and less pixel density, so you can crank that shutter speed and ISO up relative to full frame.

Amen!

There were a bunch of posts criticising this post from EDGERIDER, with one remarking about being gatekeeper. What it shows is those that spend more time sitting at home posting on CR than they spend taking photos.

Not all professional shoot soccer, and girafes… I don’t care about ISO 1040000, and ultra fast sequence… at a certains point if you need 24mpx at 60fps with motion blur, just buy a 8k video camera and don’t call yourself a photographer… if you need more than 8 fps to shoot action, just do another job, because I’ve been shooting action sport with flash for 25 years and never needed 20fps, but I need the highest sync speed with the flash … even 1/500s makes a HUGE difference, let alone 1/1000 or 1/2000s.

Amen!

I haven't been out photographing birds in a bit....

Just so I do not keep missing out on all the fun, I went back and processed a few from a backlog I have from a few years back.

Batsu Gardens in San Gerardo De Dota Costa Rica. Highly recommended.

Rufous-collared Sparrow

Flame colored Tanager

Silver-throated Tanager

Blue-gray Tanager

Phew...it had been too long....

I believe these software corrections tend to change things based on what is used frequently.

So, on average photographs of roosters are less common than the other, right?

No wonder these VR lenses sell well...

I have settled on magpul strap and a SA plate that has QD sockets and it works perfectly. I did try PD on the lens strap slots but the lens points straight down. Magpul is great quality and there is nothing easier that QD.

Will be interesting to see if Canon really announces a R3 Mk2 in 2025. Latests rumors for 2025 are a video-centric APS-C camera, a retro full-frame camera, and a high-resolution full frame camera.

Nicely done, ISO64.

Thanks!! I just checked, and the SlipLock attachment of the Lowepro 11x26 lens case just fits over both straps on the DH-150.

The DH-150 snugly fits the R3 with RF 100-300/2.8, and this means I can put the RF 24-105/2.8 in the lens case.

Small update - called WEX today.

They’re expecting another shipment of cameras this month - which they hope will be larger than the one they received last week - but they don’t have dates or numbers from Canon.

Short while later I got an email from my local WEX to advise that the LP-E6P battery that I ordered on 24th August was now in and available for collection.

I got another update email from WEX today that they are still waiting for stock. I suspect that means they received another shipment. I haven't called to check how many units they received.
