The mkIII is a great cam, but BIF is not its forte. I have tried it every which way and you can get some fabulous shots. It\'s just not as easy as the mkIIn to get fast action in a reliable manner. The main reason is because the mkIII doesn\'t do well when subjects are small in the frame. If you shoot all of your birds with the frame filled then it would work fine, but that\'s not reality. That is a distinction that you don\'t hear in many reports and reviews of the camera.
I think you\'re dead on with this. I agree that it has something to do with small subjects in the frame and definitely think this is much of the problem that people (including myself) have seen.
