Re: Is it worth upgrading R6 mk1 to mk2 for wildlife/birding/BIF?

And finally if you have the experience, is the AF and animal/bird tracking really noticeable better in mk2?

Yes, better subject detection

With R6 AF often struggles in these scenarios 1. while shooting fishing Ospreys the background changes quickly when following the bird and water splashes all over when the bird hits water. 2. trying to focus to a bearded tit in the middle of reeds. Any comment whether mk2 is any better?
