I checked my exif data on flickr its turned on, might try giving that 4k monitor a refresh.
As for my cheerio's I keep them in a sealed plastic container...
I think your call on the R5 and the 100-500 image quality is way off base, you might want to expand your image viewing beyond the Sony forum's posted images before taking a stroll down that road.
I have not shot a ton of images with my 100-500 but enough to know its sharp, definitely comparable to the 200-600.
There is no noticeable difference between R5 + 600 III vs A1 + 600 GM image quality from what I can tell.

I actually went to your flickr to look for some of your 100-500 shots, but without exif, it was a futile exercise. Sorry you think I peed in your Cheerios, even though I’ve never seen or heard of you before today.

I have a fundamental issue that I can’t seem to resolve. When I look at our resident birder’s photos on the Sony side, the sharpness, detail, and overall IQ blows away the Canon side bird photos. I don’t know if that’s a disparity between the skill of our birders or down to the cameras…but I’ve yet to see any R5 BIF photos that are close to Sony caliber except from Arbitrage and even then I think his Sony output is leagues better, and that especially goes for his A1 shots.
The one exception to this is Rob, but he shoots with great whites and likely doesn’t crop much. His Flickr also tends to be more perched birds, where the R5 seems to shine.
I couldn’t care less about the fuzzy happy feelings a green AF box gives me if the files are subpar.
I would not say the Sony board images with the 200-600 stand out above what people like bobbytan are doing with the 100-500
I’ve been very impressed by many of our 200-600 shooters for BIF, perched, air shows, and the like. I just don’t see the same level of IQ in any 100-500 shots. Maybe Canon posters tend to post lower res that look crappy on my 4K monitor.
The ultimate sanity check would be to rent the R5/100-500 combo but I’d buy an A1 for that combo’s price long before switching.
I think you're full of crap and we sure couldn't tell anything about image quality from what you have posted on flickr.. I think its time you traded in that crappy 4k monitor you have... Scotty...
