Jan 15, 2018 19:06 | #7204 Pondrader wrote in post #18537855 OK I understand the little edge in IQ.. but here's the letdown.. 7 frames a second.. 21 images in raw before you hit the buffer... BOOM that little thing just put the 5DIV back on the shelf and out of the running for a wildlife shooter camera for me. The 7DII at 10 frames a second is on the edge of yesterday im not sure of the number of raw's before I hit the buffer.. I only know its not nearly enough and 7 frames is 7D territory in dog years thats a life time. For me in real life shooting wildlife I need AF that sticks it and a good long string of raw's so I can pick the right head turn or body movement. There is always one that is the clear winner in 30 or 40 images in a string. and with the slower camera its more than likely the one you didnt get. I have some clear requirements now in camera's, I know they will all shoot super images. but getting the one people will click the like button on well that could be shot number 28 1/2. the IQ sounds awesome but at what cost. I know the 5DIV guys will say they have got some awesome images with it and they have. But I'm wondering just what They left in the field. Its a wicked discussion thread topic I would think. Hopefully Canon can get us a 7dIII that is the best of both worlds!!!!

Looks like the 100-400 has a pretty good MFD at 200+, considering how close you must have been to get that shot at 263. Or is this a pretty tight crop? Great shot regardless! Thanks, it was about 8-10 foot. I backed it off to get the whole fly in case i needed extra makings for id. The lens is capable of getting closer but the fly would not let me and yes it is a fairly large crop. I prefer to be in the bush with the animals than a crowded city.

And also (I may be wrong), but I thought one of them made a distinct "cchhaat cchhaat cchhaat" sound - probably under stress from a crow that was harassing them. That's the call of the female. Described here as "eek eek eek" Dave

The EWD was some 2 metres away and did not move its position whilst I fitted the x1.4 Mk III. Cheers Dennis Perfectly illustrating one of the main reasons why the 100-400 II is Canon's best lens. One minute you're macro shooting the eye of an Eastern Water Dragon, the next minute capturing Asian Koyels in the tops of trees.
