    Best Lenses for Busy City Bird Photography?

    Normally, the most obvious choice would be the new RF100-400 - light, compact (for what it is) and less conspicuous. Problem is it's really just duplicating what you have with your current lens. The Canon RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 is another option. Not as much reach though but could use as a...

    R7 - Shipping Notice vs Backorder - first impressions from the lucky few

    I've been happier than expected by the low level noise capabilities of the R7. It's not a low light camera, but can do ok in the right circumstances. This was taken very early morning at ISO 12800

    R7 - Shipping Notice vs Backorder - first impressions from the lucky few

    Thought I'd post an early image shot on the R7. Very early days at the moment as I haven't really learnt the camera or set it up properly, especially the focusing. It really needs RAW editing support as currently only Canon's own software can open RAWs properly. It feels and operates quite...

    R7 to be announced soon.

    I think you've miss represented what he said here and perhaps you should re read what he did say. I can't even see where he mentions cost and certainly doesn't make the comparison to full frame being better due to that. Now someone had continued with this and mentioning the OM-1 which isn't...

    Om-1 And Mike Lane vids

    I think you find that Canon prices are no real different from other full frame systems such as Nikon and Sony when balanced out. Full frame is bound to cost more money simply down to having more material within their construction. If money was no object, I would love to have a OM 1 and the...

    R6 or R7

    Can't imagine how people managed to cope before 40+ megapixel cameras so they 'could crop'. I guess they had to rely on good old fashion field craft techniques. And yes you can crop. The crop myth obsession has been going since the early days of digital cameras and with every increase in...

    R6 or R7

    Not sure how helpful the last two comments have been to answering the question. The R6 is a great camera and one of the best for low light conditions where I shoot up to 256,00 ISO. The R7's noise performance won't be as good being a crop sensor and 32 mp sensor, so maybe not so suitable for...

    Is the Canon R6 a bird photographer's camera ?

    Just seen your comment regarding my blog. Thanks. You may have now seen strong rumours regarding the R7, possibly coming out at the end of the year, if you haven't already brought the R6. I would probably get one to complement my R6 but even if they do come out this year, I'm guessing the...

    Canon EF Camera Recommendations?

    You don't mention your budget or level of expertise. At the lower end you have the 80/90D. I still have the 80D and it served me well for years. Autofocus for BIF is ok but not great. The 90D is a slight step up in focusing but otherwise bigger improvements all round. Then you have the 5D...

    Spent a very foggy early morning photograhing Hares. At first I wouldn't see them until they appeared out of the fog.

    Is the Canon R6 a bird photographer's camera ?

    You don’t mention which lenses you have. I’ve used my R6 with all my EF lenses including a Sigma 500mm f4.5, Canon 400mm, both very old lenses, with no problem. The only limitations you have these older lenses is a lower frame rate using mechanical shutter. Canons website lists which ones. I...

    Is the Canon R6 a bird photographer's camera ?

    Those images look great. The impression you get from online is that the 400DO, even the mk 2, is a little soft especially with a converter but those are very sharp. What’s the focussing speed like?

    Have been watching and photographing Brown Hares over the last month, some far away but sometimes so close I wasn't able to photograph them at all. I was able to get a few images of this one before it did get too close.

    Is the Canon R6 a bird photographer's camera ?

    Thought it might be nice to continue to show a 'bit of love' for the R6. I spent some time photographing the local Kittiwake population on the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle. Dispite the very busy city background, the focusing latched on the birds. Compared with previous years attempts and...

    DSLR's Are Dead

    I have a sneaky feeling there’s a touch of sarcasm in that statement as clearly there’s no similarities between Googling bird pictures and being out and seeing them in a EVF and taking bird pictures. As someone who’s been looking at optical viewfinders since my OM-10 days, I can say I quickly...

    So is the Canon R5 a bird photography body?

    The problem with picking out a website that supports your claim, especially that website, is that you can search for anything on YouTube to back up what you believe. The trouble with Tony & Chelsea is I've seen so many times where they have, at best, miss represented something, at worse...

    DSLR's Are Dead

    It's completely incorrect to say they have been dead for a while or even at all. Dead means gone, finished, no longer existing. They are still the main 35mm camera format and will be for some time still. Even film camera's are not 'dead'. If you're talking as a future technology, then yes in...

    Is the Canon R6 a bird photographer's camera ?

    I think if the R7 turns out to be true and is a mirrorless crop camera, it would be a huge seller, especially if it has the same focusing system as the R6 and R5. Regarding the cropping ability of the R5 over the R6, there may be some truth in that Tim. You're going to need good glass using...
