Did some Sea Eagle photography yesterday and the AF of the D500 is just amazing as are the fps! Here is a sequence of 7 shots, (there was actually 8 shots but I missed the top of the birds feathers on one shot in the middle and omitted it from this sequence) in about .8 of a second. It\'s amazing how far a Sea Eagle flies in that .8 of a second when it is catching a fish. Not only that, but the 80-400 f4.5-5.5G VR kept up!
