So is the Canon R5 a bird photography body?
I feel your pain re the overheating! What we experienced in the hides in late spring whilst just taking stills was definitely a cause for concern. -
R7 - Shipping Notice vs Backorder - first impressions from the lucky few
Sounds about right but it's not exactly unexpected. I would suggest that three hours aint really enough to form an opinion. I haven't got an R7 but I'm sure I would use it every time in preference to the 7D2. -
Is it really "must have" Adobe Photoshop for excellent redaction of digital photographs?
I pay £120 per year subscription for Photoshop. It plays an ever decreasing role in processing since I bought DXO and I ask myself do I need it? It's only the price of half a pint of beer a week so I hang on to it.- MJN

Nikon will reportedly discontinue production of its SLR cameras as per Nikkei Asia.
None whatsoever. It looks like both you and I agree on my comment. I didn't write that with any bad feeling, it's just how it is. -

For years it's been quite obvious that he has a fetish for buying top of the range gear and has the spare cash to indulge himself in it. I personally think that he's not yet got past the point - and never will - of knowing how operate any of it to more than two per cent of its potential. -
R7 to be announced soon.
My thoughts weren't about UK pricing John, that's pretty much fixed by Canon and the UK retailers won't have much if any room for manoeuvre. I was hoping for a solid, weather proofed body, stacked 24 - 28mp sensor, a considerably bigger buffer and perhaps quad pixel af. I'd happily have paid... -

Just caught up with this report Ken. A great trip and super report, I wouldn't have expected any less from you. Maybe next spring we will pound the beat together!- MJN

R7 to be announced soon.
Crikey! It's a full £1000 less than I thought/hoped it would be! There will be some serious compromises, I'm going to sit on the fence for quite some time. -
R7 to be announced soon.
I think it may be £2400. The cost of soaring prices and hi tech material shortages will be evident when this hits the UK dealers. That said I'm very interested in one and it would be a pleasant surprise if it's any less. -
So is the Canon R5 a bird photography body?
A 14 day trip abroad photographing migration saw me use the the R5 for 2 two hour sessions every day. I had two freezes in total so no complaints. -
So is the Canon R5 a bird photography body?
Another session with 1.5.2, about 750 shots in all without a freeze. The af seems sticker than I can previously recall and TBH it's s*** hot. I'm only testing on flyers initially as I think that if they're ok then all else will be. I'm still getting random variation in critical sharpness during... -
So is the Canon R5 a bird photography body?
I beg to disagree, my experience is quite the opposite. Simply being closer is sometimes anything but simple and the overwhelming majority of bird photographers will already be using a long lens. There is an option of supposedly lossless CRAW which reduces the file sizes by roughly 50% and... -
So is the Canon R5 a bird photography body?
I was very disappointed yesterday. I recently upgraded from 13.1, which was performing impeccably to 15.0 which I used extensively yesterday and the experience was bordering between frustrating and downright bad. Multiple freezes in the morning seemed to clear in the afternoon. On checking the...
