Re: M6 mark II to R7 or R6

R2 - Thanks for sharing your experiences, and great photos BTW, especially love the water skiing ones.

Spot focus with Servo AF is exactly what I use for baseball on the M6 ii. My main problem is one of technique, and it's that I have a hard time keeping the spot on the face and following any action that's moving laterally across the frame. (I use the touchpad to control spot location.) I resort to zooming out to make the tracking easier, but that wastes pixels when I crop back in during post-processing to get the compositions I want.

When I can keep the spot on the face, the keeper rate is pretty good. I guess what I'm looking for is subject detection that works well enough that I am freed from having to move the AF point myself, and thereby keep the framing tighter.

If you have an opinion on the relative strengths of subject detection on the M6 II vs. R7/6, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks again for the helpful response you've already provided.

Vijay
