70-300L does pretty good keeping up with a running dog, even towards the camera but:
Older cameras:
Change from one-shot AF to Servo AF. By the time the shutter releases, the dog will have...
Maybe it's one of those things that sounds gross, but actually works. You'll have to let us know.

Eclipse 2024 - More Dramatic Processing by Dave E, on Flickr
I've only been down the once, and only to a few select locations, and too late to catch most of the migratory birds, but yeah, more variety on the east coast like Mike says. Spoonbills, egrets,...
Just checked my R7 and R8 manuals. Focus Bracketing doesn't support using flash at all. Nice to see that the R3 has a well thought out approach in place.
Brant, I can see from the EXIF on Flickr you're using lightroom. Try the AI noise reduction on that first shot and prepare to be amazed at how much detail you can squeeze out of the image.
As for...
2024 image of the year? It's seems a bit early to make that call to me.
Starting the 7DmkII:

The manual doesn't mention the raw-burst capture rate, but according to the web, both are 30 FPS, with ~0.5s pre-capture, so 15 images from prior to your shutter press, and on the R7, up to 2 seconds...
@JoelEade, Both of my cheap mirrorless bodies, the R7 and R8 have a pre-shooting option, no need to wait for an R1 or switch to Sony... I expect it's there across the whole Canon lineup. I think...
Sometimes you don't need a long lens. My wife was cleaning some forest trails, when a swarm of chickadees started buzzing her head. She looked up and saw they were trying to warn her about the owl...
Can now confirm, Saturn is possible, though it's about 1/4 the brightness of Jupiter... needed to drop 2 EV in Lightroom, but AF couldn't see it at ISO 6400, so there is a need to overexpose......
This was handheld too, at 1/125s. If you had any doubts about Canon's lens IS, or their new IBIS, forget them. They work fine.

Jupiter and moons by Dave E, on Flickr
I wasn't even aware I was shooting a planet at first. I was just trying to see if the...
I was wondering how this one would go. With 10 voters, and 7 entrants, I was expecting it to be much closer race, yet Claes managed to get 50% of the vote... impressive!
Wife is loving the size of R8+50 f/1.8. Bet you could find a used RP to lower the price a bit. Powershot suggestion would be more versatile by having a big zoom included, but the smaller sensor,...
If comparing RF to EF, don't forget the new RF 85 doubles as a macro lens and gains IS... haven't used it though, so don't take this as an endorsement. The 100-500mm is the killer-app for the RF...

Nuthatch by Dave E, on Flickr
If Flickr lets you download the original size (which I think it does), it's sized for a 14"...
The big thing with the 100-500mm is that it's got prime-like sharpness on a 5X zoom. Whether the extra versatility is with the asking price is what you need to figure out... The big down side is the...

Woodpecker by Dave E, on Flickr
I specifically left out the noise reduction on the crop to give a sense of what the camera/lens combo can capture. There are some single-pixel wide details, so the resolving power of the...
Here's an R7 100-500mm + 1.4x shot of a GBH, and the 100% crop around the eye. Shooting semi-hand-held (I believe I was resting on the railing of a bridge). The 100% crop has the same processing,...
With the R7 and R8 being nearly the same price, we may see an uptick in full-frame adoption, but with no sign of it in spending trends.

R7, 100-500mm test. How is ISO 10000 fully usable?!? by Dave E, on Flickr
