Thanks click. I noticed that also bigger birds can be fast. But in this case it was like she felt to do a pose

Been a while since I posted in this thread. I've had some focus issues (of varying kind), and been out trying to get Short-toed treecreeper and a handful of others. If we're lucky a few shots will remain on this side of the trashcan and end up attached to a post in a day or two.

70d 400f 5.6 + 1.4II extender .taped pins and autofucus works pretty good. it hunts sometimes but it works

I'm still on the fence about the 7D MK II. I could use the reach of the 1.6 crop, but I'm still not convinced the IQ and noise would be acceptable. I want the 1dx, and money is not the issue as much as making the correct decision regarding IQ, noise, and autofocus. Any help along these lines would be appreciated. I'm currently using my sons 1DX and 5D MK II and love different aspects of all 3 cameras. Would like to get one that fits most of my needs.

Hey LarryC1973,
I've just purchased the 1D4 for slightly less than the 7D2 and really like some of the pro features like exposure linked to focus point. I see few downsides to this camera other than its low light capability where noise can become a negative. After shooting 6D it is hard to accept this and I think that would hold true for the 7D2 to some extent. My plan is to use the 1D4 while I await a new body from Canon. My friend shots 1DX and we compare our birds a lot. My 6D holds its own in IQ pretty well but we know where it fails. Ultimately, I'll probably avoid crop and go FF pro but I'd like more MP than the 1DX for cropping. Can't say I love the weight though. PM me if you want to relate further.
