A few days ago, Steve, who is also an FM member, asked for my opinion of 1DsMkII as a \"birding\" camera.
I told him I liked 1DsMkII, and that I had been still using it on a variety of birds, in parallel to 1DX, although the older camera has some serious limitations one has to work either with or around. One of such limitations is a low FPS/burst depth capability. Therefore, shooting faster BIF with 1DsMkII, as an example, is a rather trying experience, and there are always some sure-fire shots missed.
Today I went to 3 different shooting \"theatres\" of mine, sporting 1DsMkII cum 600 f/4 IS MkII + 1.4xTC III, and within 2.5 hrs total shooting time, managed to get something like 40 diverse keepers. Obviously, they are not a Nat Geo material, but that\'s not the point: 1DsMkII can get you some nice shots, and the camera performs dependably-predictably and with precision. I have fun using it as well as looking at the files it produces.
Here\'s Pt. 1 sampler of my today\'s shots. Again, all of them were done with handheld 1DsMkII + 600 II + 1.4xTC III.
