Even the D810/800/610/600 struggles with birds in flight as this requires fast Af, good technique and good bird knowledge to get reproducibly great results.
Even the latest Nikons D810, D4s struggle somewhat and people rely on high shutter speed, fast fps shooting and great AF that is set up correctly.

Any wonder that people struggled in pre-digital times to get the fantastic nature shots that we see so often now.
It is not magic but hard graft to get these shots as well as many uncomfortable hours/days in the field.


The latest v4 firmware for the XT1 makes for a much more responsive camera but until I test it side by side in a real situation I cant as yet judge if the Fuji XT1 is the near equal of my D600.
