 Re: R7 for general bird photography: my take | |
Many of the OPS findings are the same as what I have encountered with my R7. I use it only for birds and wildlife 95% of the time with my Sigma 500mm F4. I shoot in all three modes, handheld, on a monopod and once a while on a tripod with a gimbal.
I started off using the electronic first curtain but have slowly migrated to using electronic a greater percentage of the time. I recently had an encounter with Hummingbirds and stayed in electronic mode the whole time. The results were very good even when they were in flight hovering above a flower. If I am shooting birds in flight where am panning I willl use electronic first curtain.
I find that the files are excellent when it comes to post processing and the noise cleans up nicely in Lightroom.
My friend and I both agree that we would pay twice as much for a professional level crop camera, but I don't think that Canon will ever release one.
