Robert, Looks like a good trip!
For posting images what are the dimensions everyone are using?

Great shots, Robert! Looking at your R3 images, it’s pretty clear that the E-M1X is generating more “wow” results although I am sure the number of lost shots with the EM1X is pretty high compared to the R3.

Hi Alan, your comment is spot on. I'd say right now my hit rate with the Olympus when it comes to fast movement is about 75% whereas with the Canon it 95%. Then again I am sure some of it is because of user error

Hi Patrick, the trip so far has been great. I am shooting in 4:3 and I am not cropping so the dimensions should be 5184 × 3888. When I am exporting from LR I am just using the file setting, limit file size to 1,400k.

Hehe. Right now, my hit rate with slow, small non moving birds is around 10%.

Thanks all for you nice comments!
Shooting the Woodland kingfisher at FF 1,120mm at f/6.3 and getting the speed of 1/20,000 sec is amazing with a mirrorless camera. Wanted to show a couple of images that some maybe uncomfortable shooting at those settings I used.
It was fun to work the system. Looking forward to going back with the OM-1 camera.

Great photos, Bobby! Where were those taken?
The bokeh on the 150-400 seems to be very smooth even with aspherical elements that typically cause harsher bokeh.
For anyone following my earlier comments about 10% hit rate with small birds, I took the 150-400 to the zoo and the hit rate with the E-M1X jumps up to the 80-90% rate. With larger subjects and greater distances, the AF algorithms work much better.
