In good conditions and settings well adapted to the circumstances you can expect 70% tacksharp shots
More below better (had to serach the 2018 HDD
Typical rsults once every setting is ok Enjoy

This is a fine example of tracking staying on target with a busy background, good work.

I came from Canon FF gear when I started Fuji
For me it is a very good compromise size weight IQ
iNstead of discussing at infinity about gear I just post what I did and like

Hi Valeriu,Valeriu 64 said:
I'm still relatively new to this BIF thing, but here are a few examples I've shot recently using the X-T3 and the 100-400mm:

Hi Twan,
Yes, I do have the X-T2 and X-T3 and have used both extensively for birds in flight. I think the X-T3 is more capable as the faster processor and better auto focus helps a lot. As an example of the auto focus improvement, here is an X-T3 shot of Hummingbird Moth that I was never able to achieve with any of my earlier cameras including my Canons.
This is one of many similar moths referred to as hummingbird moth. Actually this is a White-lined Sphinx Moth (Hyles lineata).Nectaring on Pride of Maderia.
These moths are small, very fast, and the wings are a blur presenting a great challenge to any auto focus system. So...the camera is capable but...birds in flight is also a great challenge to the photographer, requiring great eye hand co ordination and lots of practice. In my case, years of practice, LOL.
Good luck and kind regards,

Thanks for giving your feedback on the a9 + FE 200-600 G compared to the Fuji combo. I have the former but I have just received my X-T4 and originally did not plan to do BIF with it but with its fast repeat shot shutter rate and how I have seen it perform with the XF 50-140 I picked up used I am considering it. Also I don't know if they are offering it still but there seems to be a great deal on the XF 100-400 which is the same reach.
I will say the ability to program both the AF-ON and AEL to a complete set of options is a very nice feature on the Sony that would be great if Fuji could add even if not using it for BIF. I have one set up for single shot with Aperture Piority and the other with continuos with Shutter Priority and tracking.

I don't pay to much attention to the You Tube bloggers but if I had to guess I would guess that it's not possible. Strictly a guess....
