    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.

    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...

    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.

    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,...

    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...

    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.

    So.... I'm rethinking the RF 100-500mm, and considering the EF 100-400mm II and an EF 1.4x. Why? Because it would ALSO work on the 7D2.
