Some shots from Delaware Seashore State Park after 3 days with the camera.
Some thoughts so far:
1. The camera is a more capable and complex than the R5. Strategic use of the Q menu and M-Fn buttons has been key for me.
2. With the same number of customizable buttons, some hard thinking and experimentation is required to set up the camera, especially for Eye Control.
3. The AF system is much faster than the R5, but the Auto setting is too jumpy. I have gone with manual and am still searching for the best settings.
4. Viewfinder is great. Bright and instant on.
5. 2nd gen Eye Control is quite good. Best used for BIF with a focus area ~10% of the FOV.
6. The flash system with electronic shutter is excellent. Paired with an EL-5, it gives powerful capability for macro.
7. The 6 ms readout speed may not be a liability compared to Nikon and Sony 3 ms (as I feared).
8. There is plenty of buffer space when using CRAW for fast birds.
