R5? R6? Anyone?

[Joel Eade]

I would agree that noise may well be an issue for the R5 and f/10 is not optimum for sure but I may not use the 1.4 TC for flight images very often.

I'm hoping the sensor will have similar or better performance than the Nikon D850 (also 45 mp)

I have a couple of friends who have used that body with great success for flight photography.

The RAW images from the Nikon D850 are pretty good up to iso 3200 and any noise in those files cleans up readily especially with Topaz DeNoise AI.

Also curious to see how a 600mm f/4 with an adapter will fair with the AF tracking .... would not expect it to be as good as an RF lens of course.

I like the joystick and using it has become second nature to me so not too worried about that feature.

I have used back button focus a lot but have not been convinced to stay with it all the time....the more traditional AF on button next to the joystick won't bug me (I think) since I have never used a camera with the trackpad.
