Great shots. Those shutter speeds are amazingly low. I would have been nervous of subject movement. Were they from bursts where some of the others were blurry? They are also great illustrations of the combined IS and IBIS. 1/20 at 400mm (640mm FF equivalent FOV) is really impressive. The light must have been pretty dim for that one especially.

Thanks, yes it was pretty dim as the sun was setting and it was overcast.  In these sorts of situations I typically do some short bursts of 4-5 shots and usually a couple come out OK.  The IS/IBIS on this combo (R7/RF 100-400) is very impressive.  I’m continually impressed by how such an affordable combination performs so well.
