Happy New Year!
I don’t really like Indian Mynas - aggressive invaders. The very first thing I do with a new camera is to AFMA it or fine tune. The difference in Mpx should not be noticeable. Enjoy your New Year‘s acquisition and have a great 2020 with it!Here I have few from my first try of my new camera (same lens). Found them slightly softer but I still haven't check for lens/body alignment (aka fine tuning the lens) - I hope this is the problem. Otherwise just ~2.5MP loss should not be that visible! Focus-tracking is superior (I still have to evaluate the focus acquisition and accuracy). I didn't have a chance to try BIF today but it looks promising...
I'm still into very basics of this camera. In generally not that big deal (in comparison with Alan who is trying this from different system) but still - one day is not enough! Last two photos at ISO 1000.

I believe the camera you have just bought has Auto Fine Tune whereby it sets itself by liveview and then AF, which should be quick and easy. I've got into a routine for AFMA using Reikan Focal. It takes a while for the software to be compatible with newly released bodies and it's a PITA taking the computer etc into the garden where I AFMA. So, I use the manual method of taking 3 jpegs at each AFMA from -20 to +20 every 5 units, which takes about 5-10 minutes. Downloading back indoors and then feeding them into the program, which is another 5 minutes. For my latest acquisition pair, the AFMA for the bare lens is 0 but the 1.4xTC requires a very noticeable +7. I don't know if that correction is unusually high but I have similar shifts with TCs on my 100-400mm IIs. I have too many bodies and lenses so FoCal is very good value for me, and it's so quick by the manual procedure that mirrorless's not requiring AFMA isn't an issue.Thanks Alan! In this particular time of the year I don't have enough time/mood to do real AFMA! But it's a #1 in the next few weeks (better in the next two - if the things are not going as expected I have to return the camera). I didn't need any adjustments with my older camera. It's still here, waiting for the verdict but I'm not at all sure I want to sell it - it is mighty one and would be fine back up body!

I am suffering from bird deprivation. House sparrows have become so rare, that even this made me happy.

I like the Pochard!Pochards have unusual habits. The males migrate to cold England in the winter while the females go off to live it up in Spain.

Cockney sparras are a sacred icon here. Anyway, I don't recall seeing you in Edmonton - I used to go through there on the 102 bus.I grew up in Edmonton with tons of those pests but believe it or not, now 15 miles away I never see one, thankfully.
Excellent photos Durf!Finally got the 90D and am rather quite impressed with it.....
First shot is with the Sigma 150-600mm and the second shot is with the Canon 100-400mm ii.

Very nice shots! As I have written a couple of times, the 90D pairs very well with the 100-400mm II and Sigma 150-600mm. You used iso 1600 and there is no real noise after the Topaz treatment, giving the lie to that its IQ blows up after 800 iso.Finally got the 90D and am rather quite impressed with it.....

Trust a Grey Jay to do that!After weeks of patient tutoring, this Canada Gray Jay has trained people in Ontario's Algonquin Park to bring it cranberries. Shot today. 7D2, EF 400 mm f5.6, ISO 1600, 1/800 sec @f7.1
