    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    The lens covers made by NEOPRENE CAMERA CASES | Outdoor photography gear are very good quality, better than the more expensive Lens Coat. I have their covers on my 100-500mm and can recommend it

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    I use these as they are fast enough though not cheap; there are faster cards but you’ll be adding a lot more cost for these

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    I have 2 Lexar 256GB 270MB/s in my R7. The faster the card the better the write speed, especially if going to use the video function. The 200MB/s Sandisk cards you mention will do the job though

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    The same issue occured at various distances with the bird in different places on the lagoon, 95% of the shots the back ground was infocus and the egret not. Its not a case of thje AF hopped to the background if the EVF is showing its locked onto the bird. I was using the canon 100-400mm EF lens...

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    Had issues today with the R7 using a 1.4x extender, not had issues before using an extender. Great White Egret against a darker background, it was a fair distance.
