Better than that it's a upgrade over the A1 for my needs, shooting surfers and humming birds in flight..
Can anyone post some hummingbird in flight images?
I'm really intrigued by this camera, but need to know if indeed it's useable for hummingbirds.
Cliff, I had the chance of taking some hummer shots in my yard with the A7RVI, I was pleasantly surprised that based on quick glance, I am not seeing massive wing distortion, I shot at 1/800 or 1/1000.
Thanks, Douglas.
I'm not really worried about a little distortion, I just want to avoid those mutant birds with four wings like I was getting with the A7RV.
Cliff, I am posting some hummer shots, I was expecting much worse rolling shutter effect on the wings based on the sensor readout speed and some of the review pictures I saw online. I was pleasantly surprised it's quite usable for hummingbird shoots. Based on my own observation, the most visible effect is probably the occasionally longer or shorter wing spans than normal.
Shot at 20 FPS, compressed raw.
