•  Support Congrats to your new camera. I just bought the same lens… switiching to RF as well :-) --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 22:44, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

• The only problem, Frank, is that the camera will not autofocus on, say, a dragonfly on a stick, or a spider on a web. Have to switch to manual focus. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:54, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

• Interesting. I won't be able to test mine yet, as the camera body will only arrive in a couple of weeks. Are you happy with the image quality? It looks like the colors and the contrast are excellent. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 12:54, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
• Very happy with everything else. Noise at higher ISOs so much better than my EOS 80D. Eye-tracking of birds in flight works well against a clear sky. I've got the RF 100-500 lens though it can accommodate EF lenses. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:50, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Support Lovely, and congrats on the new camera. Just curious what factored into your decision to choose one with relatively low pixel density, as a wildlife photographer? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:48, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

• The R6 is the Canon alternative and has many more pixels, but less good low light performance. And the R6 was too expensive. Test results online show that the results are very similar. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:57, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Neutral I find both kingfisher images quite similar and the another one of much better quality Poco a poco (talk) 17:13, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

• You must expect them to be similar, but they are different subspecies. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:44, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
