Canon R7 for bird photography and birds in flight.
1

Hi all, I am looking at upgrading to the R7 late this year or when I turn 18 (1 year and 2 months) and I am aware of some of the issues, such as rolling shutter. I really enjoy shooting birds in flight, and I'm aware that rolling shutter occurs frequently in electronic mode when shooting fast moving subjects. I currently own the 7dmkii and I'm really enjoying it, but the bird AF, EVF and tracking are real pulls for me. So a few questions:

How often does rolling shutter occur in electronic mode when shooting birds in flight?

How does the R7 fair with EF lenses such as the EF100-400 II?

Does the bird AF pick up the eye often?

A friend of mine has the R7, so I will be having a go with it soon, but I would like perspectives from other photographers on here.

Kind regards,

Evan
