One of the issues I run into with bird photography is branches - branches in front of the subject tend to throw off AF, particularly a problem with my old E-P1.

Using the G6 and Pinpoint AF gets surprisingly good results where normally I would have to MF. Focus doesn't seem as fast as when using a normal AF frame, but is still quite quick - just a little hesitant perhaps. Easy and quick to confirm with focus peaking, too.

Sometimes it is worthwhile to concentrate on the things that a camera is good at, rather than waste time considering the things that it isn't; this is one of the things the G6 is good at.

Robin, These photos are awesome and eye-popping even when viewed at 1:1! Thank You for sharing. I started photography only a month ago and I have a Nikon 1 V1, how many months do I need to take such great photos with my camera? I have the "1 Nikkor 10-100mm", but I guess I should buy a bigger Nikkor FX lens with the FT-1 adapter. Or, I should buy a Panasonic G6 either with micro 4/3 lenses?

Thank You,

Miki
