We are pretty lucky in Australia as far as birds go. Some absolute stunners.

Had a nice show last night. It wasn't a particularly strong solar storm during our hours of darkness but the aurora really fired up.

An Australian icon. The Laughing Kookaburra.

Last post was the beautiful Pink Robin. This week's effort was their cousin the Scarlet Robin. Different colour. Different environment. Equally spectacular bird

Here is a pic of a beautiful little bird I have been chasing for over a year now. They are very elusive a d tend to live in the deep shadow of the temperate rainforest. The Pink Robin

You can't be too disappointed if you are still a Canon shooter. Honestly. Vote with your wallet or it is hard to take you too seriously.

Yes. It was one of the biggest issues I have with my 7d2. I still use it even though I have upgraded to an r6 but it is almost impossible to shoot a dark subject against a bright background

Panning for birds against a bright background. Which is a VERY common scenario. Not saying it makes it unusable or crap. A global shutter is a pretty big step and kudos to Sony (with the obvious caveat that we don't really know yet how good it will be) but there are scenarios where it is not...

Not so much for wildlife though where you have so little control over shooting conditions

Cheers. Agree about the second image. It is my favorite as well

Some of my recent dog imagery

Yep. Same here. The AF improvement for wildlife photography is beyond anything you can comprehend without being a wildlife photographer

True but same sensor does not necessarily mean the same camera. Nikon has basically made a z9 without the battery grip. Canon can still use the same sensor and differentiate in other ways.

r1 and R5mkw with identical sensors. R7mk2 with identical sensors just cut smaller. Could work

No idea if I am on the right track of course. Just tossing around an idea. The 7d2 was considered a 'mini 1d' and the R7, while it does have some good features, could never be considered a 'mini R1'. But if they have decided to change tack and head down that route it may make sense given the R7...

Maybe an R7mk2? Perhaps they are thinking about a real 7d2 replacement? I know it's early but the rumor does not suggest a timeline does it?

I forgot to mention (although I would also love to see this implemented as a feature on my r6 via firmware update -not going to happen of course) I would love to see a remote shooting feature as has recently been given to the Z9

I am looking for a feature that makes it spontaneously appear in my hands without having to sell my organs to acquire it. ;)

Just one of many stunning birds we have

Haven't posted in here for ages so here you go. A male and female Superb Fairy Wren from Tasmania. Still winter but the males are already colouring up for breeding season. https://www.brettguyphotography.com.au/
