    Re: Post your best bird shots!

    Thank you guys! Compared to the 7D, when doing BIF, the AFof 5DIII seems the same as 7D.... Kind of disappointed,I felt that it took about one second to focus and lock on the flying duck...maybe coz the 400mm5.6 is group E lens or duck fly a little too fast...? Will try the 300mm 2.8 to see any difference... Isn't that AF system is as same as the 1DX's?

    Great shots Nick, looks like you don't need another body
    JJ, Congrats on the new camera. Only one keeper but a good one. Could it be the settings? There is a whole multi page pdf on the camera's AF.

    Great shots, and sweet composition of that heron shot! Have you tried to do any noise reduction on that image?

    Got home from work just a few minutes before sunset and was lucky to get an image of a Northern Flicker at my back yard set up. Also a little test of the 1DX high ISO ability.
