I am really taken with the 90D because of the high quality of its images, its ergonomics for handling large lenses, and its use as a mirrorless in liveview. As the M6 II has some nice features and is small and light with the same sensor as the 90D, I am now seriously considering upgrading to it from my M5 (which is still a fine camera). I have some questions for CR members who are using the M6 II for bird photography.
1. The ergonomics are not intended for using with large lenses, but how are you finding it for hand holding with the 100-400mm II?
2. What is the battery life like using it with the 100-400mm II?
3. How well does the AF work when trying to focus on a bird surrounded by foliage?
4. How well does the AF find and lock on to a bird in flight?
5. I am very interested in the burst mode where, for example, you can focus on a perched bird and it takes off and the camera records shots before you fully depress the button. But, I have read that it is difficult to extract the individual frames. Is this so?
Answers to any or all of these questions will be greatly appreciated.
