So I know I've discussed the subject of shooting from a car before, and I'm well aware of things like 1) heat from a warm car, mixing with cold air outside, 2) vibration of a running motor, 3) hand holding as I can't really use a tripod (I have a window attachment, but it's kind of a pain)

Anyway, here's my point > I've shot quite a bit from my car, as we have a couple of places where we go that have auto routes that you are not allowed to get out (one time, my GF and I got out to switch drivers, and immediately, every bird in a 1 mile radius took off ! Oops 😀)

Long story short, I've gotten quite a few pretty nice shots from my car "With my R5" and a few different lenses......

But my new and beloved R7 SUCKS shooting from the car ?

You ask us if your R7 sucks shooting from the car? Or it is rather an information than a question? In that case why it sucks?

Why ??? The only difference I can think of, is that I shoot 100% mechanical with my R5, and 100% electronic shutter with the R7, but I don't see how this in itself should make such a huge difference ?

What difference? Why don't you demonstraze what you mean on couple of samples.

Am I overlooking something here ?

Yeah - explaining what is your point.

Oh and btw, I've even been in good light and had my shutter speed as high as 1/2000th, for perched birds ! And they were still blurry !? I don't get it.

It can be point No. 1) from your list above, or just atmospheric density, or shooting through the car windows, or....

With such a lack of factual information nothing can be determined clearly.

Your thoughts ?
