Nice shot. Most of your shots this year have been in excellent focus.A sitting downy emerald. I think it's the third time only I've caught one sitting.

Thanks, @AlanF.Nice shot. Most of your shots this year have been in excellent focus.
You do as well on the 5DIV for these shots for AF. I use point focus on the R5 and R7 as I did on the 5DSR and 5DIV to have more control over the focus. Point 3 is the key, positioning yourself for the focal plane. It really does show in your recent shots which are excellent.Thanks, @AlanF.
I suppose three reasons:
* If I remember right, with this emerald I took only 3 shots. Then it was gone.
- I get more and more used to my 5D4 over the 5D3, although ergonomics are quite similar.
Better AF and more MP for cropping.- I stop shooting like in film times and make more shots per subject.
Therefore, more work selecting in post, but more chances to get focus on spot. *- I automatically pay more attention to the focal plane.
I don't know if it is a good idea to lend/rent an R5 to compare the AF systems.
Could become very expensive, I know

This dragonfly crash landed ...
Pity for the dragonfly (seems to be a southern or migrant hawker).Amazing details. Nicely done!
The M6II has essentially the same 32 Mpx APS-C sensor as the R7, which has the pixel density of an 88 Mpx FF sensor. It gives higher resolution than a 45 Mpx R5. I use the R7 rather than the R5 when I want to optimise detail.Pity for the dragonfly (seems to be a southern or migrant hawker).
But a good chance for you and I fully agree with @Click:
Amazing details. It's not all about 45+X MP on the sensor.
It's about the human and the technique behind it...
Great to see, what you can do with a M6II

According to the EXIF data, Koen was at the mfd of the EF-S 60mm, about 21-23cm, so an FF sensor would not be able to cover a greater area of it by getting closer.I know. But thanks for pointing that out.
But guessing that not too much cropping was needed here, it is about absolute sensor area used vs. pixels used.
Yes, the close up shots were indeed at MFD. I had put the M6II there last week in case something interesting showed up, so I wouldn't need to run down three flights of stairs to get a cameraAccording to the EXIF data, Koen was at the mfd of the EF-S 60mm, about 21-23cm, so an FF sensor would not be able to cover a greater area of it by getting closer.
