Gee whizz Gary .... looking at those settings it must have been pretty dull/dark !!?

Some very impressive IQ results considering the ISO's and S/S's. And such colourful little critters too .... beautiful.

Top notch !!

Thnks, Matt, most of these were under the canopy in the jungle. Even at noon it is verrrry dark in the jungle. I used to use flash all the time. But I prefer not too now. I like the natural look even if I have to sacrifice some detail from high ISO.

Thanks' I was using a 7D but when the new 5D 3 and 1Dx hit. One dealer here sold me a new mark IV for the price of 5D 3 + grip. So far I am happy with it.

Stellar images, beautifully shot! You obviously made the right decision with the mark IV. How did the weight handle?

So many birds so little time.
