so... we've been told the new R5 AF is like cheating.. I want to see some more R5 samples of BIF! ;-)

Nice. If that second one was a sudden opportunity and the camera managed a quick and clean focus lock with that background then I am impressed.

Lucky for me, I had just figured out how to set a specific focus point to start the tracking AF, so I only had to get the sucker in the middle of the EVF and it locked on within a frame or two. So good it almost knocked me out of the kayak...

Nice shots, Cog. I especially like the first one.

Thank you, Click! It was a nice closing photoshoot on the last day on my vacation. Back to work.

There are just not so many owners yet. In our part of the world, the camera will be in stock in September. But with a 30% salary cut due to Corona pandemic, I won't consider the purchase right now.

A female Kestrel flying, not hovering, yesterday. It was miles away and I took a casual photo with a 700mm (500+1.4xTC) to identify it. I upscaled it 4x and it makes not too bad a shot. It's equivalent to having a 2800mm lens.

Nice picture!

Thanks. Might as well show it it off before it gets buried by better photos.

That’s true. I don’t post much here of course. Didn’t see any harm in posting and since it’s the R5 I figured fellow birders here might like the result. Of course the admin can remove it if they want to if I broke a rule on crossposting. I won’t mind one bit.
