Birds in Flight has a pretty broad range of possible subjects.
Given the camera has a readout speed in a similar range as the Canon R5 you can expect it will perform in a similar manner.
The R5 was fine for most medium to large birds but any small fast bird (humming birds, chats, wrens, honeyeaters, sparrows, parrots, stints, etc.) will almost certainly have distorted wing, heads or bodies depending on how they are moving at the time the image is taken.
You will also probably see distortion on things like herons heads when they are striking prey or on their beaks when tossing the prey items and rapidly opening and closing their beaks.
If you are panning fast then trees and grass in the background will appear unnaturally slanted.
So - understand the limitations and shoot accordingly.
Of course many won't and there will no doubt be lots of complaints. ...Show more →
Thank you. I’ve decided to go another way when I found a lightly used mint A1 II. Sure it’s not 66.8 Mpixels but it’s 50.1 Mpixels should meet my needs and I kind of like it sharing the older battery technology even if the new one is better.
