Canon Canon R5 Thread

[Tim Mayo]

As some of you know I also like to dabble on the dark side with the Canon R5. I only own the RF 100-500 lens but together with the R5 it makes a very nice and pretty lightweight setup for wildlife. For shooting perched birds I find that it grabs the focus quicker than any of my Sony cameras when the subject is significantly off the focal plane. When it first came out the bird eye AF was also significantly better than what Sony was achieving at the time but they have since levelled the playing field and probably taken the lead with their latest cameras. When it comes to BIF the R5 is no slouch but my A1 is normally my preferred choice as it tracks better. I shot these gannets up at Bempton Cliffs a while back now, they are stunning birds to shoot. It's a shame that they are being hit so hard by avian flu. I might need to make the effort to get back there this year.

I fully expect that I'll be the only one posting here with the R5 I'll be posting some Sony images on the Canon forum too!
