What's funny is that when I first went from my D810 to the Sony A9, it felt so weird and I felt so insecure/unsure while shooting silent shutter. Now that I have been shooting the A9 for awhile, when I go back to the D810 to shoot the shutter just seems so loud now. Lol.
And the D810 is way way quieter than the D850....the 850 is ridiculous....my 1DX2 sounds better because of the higher frequency 14FPS....the 850 is hard to shoot birds up close.
Those hummingbird shots are great. A tip though which you probably know already but FastRawViewer is good for culling large number of images fast. Upload to a fast SSD and cull away.

Geoff, congrats on your Sony A9 and I agree with you in that respect! The problem was, I ended up having over 1,500+ images in no time .
Yes in CR it would be wise to cut it back to 10FPS I think Luckily for me I only have a single male Rufous that guards my feeders so I don't get too carried away and have to worry too much about running at 20FPS!!
A bit off topic but one thing I was disappointed in with the A9 is the embedded jpeg in the RAW file is tiny. I've adapted my LR workflow to cull with Embedded previews which on Canon and Nikon are very large jpegs where you can go at 1:1 and cull without delay while still importing. I found a solution with the Sony that if you shoot RAW+Jpeg then LR uses the full sized jpeg as the "embedded preview" and I can cull fast and then just delete all the jpegs at the end.
Sun on horizon, giant black cloud blotting. Low light AF-C the a9 doesn't care nary. Forgot the important part=with 2.0TC at 800mm.
I'm sure you a9 guys are following the Tammy 28-75E. What if it's Tam that give me a 400/4 Wouldn't that be the shit! Heckum I'd even grin with a tack 300/4 as long as it kisses the TC.

Geoff, I would have missed the fight of 2 (or more) hummers otherwise. This is the frame when an aggressive Talamanca hummer literally speared the neck of the guy that was feeding in front of it. I captured the sequence prior to the attack and I did get the next two images after the attack as well when the "speared" hummer flipped over and fell down. But he was out of my frame after that but he turned out to be OK though. The scene happened in a split second, literally .
Thanks buddy! Yeah the only real thing I have to shoot around here.
Hey if this were a Ronco commercial from the 80s ? I'd say 'but wait there's more'
Ironically I'd put out the mealworms and was hoping for a Bluebird.

You guys (gals?) know if you get one with the a9 you get 20. I got to follow this one approx 1.5 seconds. I won't bore with all but here is another wingbeat.
What would you guys do for the noise under his wing? I thought about selective denoising but too tired at the time (been gluing a propane tank under my camper most of the day).
