First impression is that it hits the spot much better than my Mark II. Heading on a safari in the beginning of April and looking forward to test it fully out.

CyberDyneSystems Admin (type T-2000)  More info | Mar 08, 2020 21:37 | #605 On Subject Acquisition and Tracking Birds in Flight;    Even when I can't keep the bird in the AF area and a I get way off, the tracking just sticks like glue to the subject! I only shot with the 1.4xIII mounted today, but from what I can tell, it simply does not effect the AF function at all. Fast, accurate dead on. With Hoodman loupe installed Live View Dual Pixel Contrast AF: Sadly this is another story. What works SO WELL for tracking people on a stage even in very dark conditions, it all comes crashing down when I try to use the same set up for birds in flight in bright sunlight and a 700mm FL lens combo. AF slows considerably. Using the loupe and live view pretty much everything just looks like a big blur. Trying to find a subject is much more difficult than with an out of focus OVF. Hunting is MUCH slower and far less likely to result in finding anything. Even for the geese floating in the water, those times between subject lock when looking for a target are truly painful. This is bad news for the R5 hopefuls I am afraid, as this live view scenario for this type of subject at least is no where NEAR as reliable as something like a $1,200.00 7D2s optical viewfinder AF. That said, the subject Tracking remains a miracle. Once you get your blue box on a goose,. it sticks, it sticks it sticks! 20fps silent electronic shutter is essentially the same as shooting a movie,. and the subject stays locked at all times. Starting at image 122 in the gallery you can see what 20fps of a goose swimming by looks like;  Image Quality and Detail; I'll start buy posting a link to my 1DXIII gallery containing many of today's images at full size jpeg straight out of camera. I have never down this before, my ego is too fragile to let my nickers show, but finally I ma caving and posting just exactly what I shot. I justify this by wanting let anyone interested see the real shots, and the fact that today was really nothing to write home about (or post to the forum about) anyways. These are full size, do what you will with the images. Full Gallery with 100% full sized jpegs truly s.o.c. https://jakehegnauer.zenfolio.com/p988945897 It's a nice 20MP sensor. I will say that when I am reviewing images and I hit the "100%" button I am always a little let down. After all these years looking primarily at the 30MP raw images from the 5D4, these images just don't have the same secret sauce. I hope that once Capture One finally gets the 1DXIII RAW supported I will feel better about it,. but for now it will be a little niggling let down. I can and will live with 20MP,. but to be looking at a $6,500.00 camera and comparing the images more closely to a 7D2 than to a full frame 5D4 is certainly something to consider. Mostly it's the crop-ability I will miss. After years with the 5D4's 30MP images, i have learned to compose more loosely than I used to, even when I have more "zoom" in a lens. You will see this in gallery images samples. Mind you this was a prime at 700mm so now zooming was possible, but still, with every avian shot I took today significant cropping is required to make an image I would normally post here on the forum.

Note full size images, the early ones need major cropping, eventually the gull fills the frame;      I almost lose it, but the AF tracking keeps it glued in focus!!!!   1DXIII EF 500mm f/4L IS II, 1.4X MkIII @ 700mm f/7.1, 1/1600, ISO 400 Optical Viewfinder Again drastically reduced images by Zenfolio, it positively destroys the image quality! Don't blame the camera! The full sized are available. GEAR LIST

Ok, enough of the oversized poorly displayed unedited flat SOC images here's a mouse resized for web with some sharpening applied, first time using ANY editing apps since the Windows 10 reinstall, so blundering around .. I hope it turned out ok? POTN Exif says 1DXII, but it's the III, just needed to pick a camera... Well, it's a rodent. I paid $4K last month to have the rats removed and the insulation replaced in my crawl space. With the exception of that bias, it's a really nice mouse! Image editing ok; C&C always welcome.
