Marvellous shots roo! They bring back memories of a marvellous day we had in Tarawhanui where I saw my one and only Sacred Kingfisher and managed to get a shot. Not as good as yours but here it is.

All of your Kingfishers are crazy good guys.

Just a quick snapshot – was on a walk through our neighborhood and my wife spotted this owl in a tree. He hung out long enough for me to walk home, grab a camera, and walk back.


EOS R, EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM @ 300mm, 1/200 s, f/5.6, ISO 2500

Here's a 1000x1000 crop from the centre this morning of a Tree Sparrow taken with the 100-400+1.4xTC on the R5. No additional sharpening, just straight out of DxO PL4 with standard settings.

Not feeling so bad about AA filters now then Alan ?

The new generation of AA-filters now in use with the R5 and 1DXIII with multi beam splitting is a real improvement over the earlier brutal ones. Optyczne.pl has just analysed the resolution of the R5 sensor and it is really good. When the facts change, so do my feelings! Canon has pulled out all the stops with the R5.

I hope to see one closer next year at our ponds.
Until now, I only saw one flying by in far distance.
And during a canoe tour we hat two of them flying around us. Really great impression - but no cam inside the canoe (danger of capsizing).

Just a quick snapshot ...

Not bad for a snapshot

I was wondering which camera to wait for or buy next. This is my 1DC straight out of camera. 1/1600 f/4 iso200
18 mp & 70-200 mk2 @123mm
Which Canon camera these days could give me more?
