Hi Rocket,

WOW, you aced the focus on all those shots, excellent photos. I'm thinking of getting an R7 once they become readily available over here.

Thanks right now it's a love hate realtionship. The learning curve is steeper than I thought it would be going from DSLR to mirror less. For instance I hope I can explain this right, say you are shooting something closer to the horizon or farther away but then a duck flushes close to you. Focus does not want to quickly switch. I have to grab a large close object near where I am wanting to focus to reset it to close, or vice versa. At first I thought was an R7 issue but talking to friends that shoot R5s and Sony's they say it's all mirror less systems. What I do love is the EVF being able to be close to the exposure I want right out of the camera is just great. My post time a lot of times is just cropping. The camera does a great job with Jpeg as well . I normally shoot Raw but if conditions are horrible but I want to shoot I can and not worry about high iso if in Jpeg it doesn't smooth out the details like the old days. As far as Iso in raw I can get close to 3000 without to much problems. My 90d 1600 was about the top . Of course the focus is fantastic. I did try a friend's RF 100-500 and to be honest I didn't see enough advantage to trade in my EF 100-400. As far as tele converter, I agree it is better then when used on my DSLRs but don't agree you don't loose any sharpness. My old original Tamron 100-600 works but it's just to heavy for me anymore and with the crop capability of the R7 haven't found the need to use it. Oh one other issue is it's to dang fast. I shoot electronic shutter H not H+ and still end up with thousands of shots especially when shooting my grandsons sporting events. Just yesterday went to a pee wee amerin football game and ended up with 2900 photos! Lol
