Thanks for asking this question, and thanks for all who gave insightful answers. I had asked a similar question earlier, s I am considering the next generation 5Ds/r/
Reason? I went to S. Africa last year and was shooting my new 1DXII. We mainly went during golden hours and a few night drives (awesome, if you go, you must try this!). Anyway, even though the animals are supposed to be most active during this time, many leopards etc. were still lazy, not really moving, and were close by. I was thinking that more detail would be awesome, and lighting was good enough for iso < 1000 with decent shutter speeds.
I also have to admit, the 1DXII is excellent and any bad shots were due to me not being as adept at using the camera as I should have been, but it takes me a long time to master a new camera.
Anyway, again thanks, this was helpful to me.

Hi Guys!
Can you tell me, if the AF speed of the 5DSR is fast enough for birding? Is it much slower than the Af of the 5D Mk IV I own? Do you recommend it for nature photography?
I am looking for an 5DSR or 6D MK II for birding and nature photography.
