I guess that that is as good as can be reasonably expected without having human intelligence built into the camera. Mind you need to be aware that all are not equally gifted!! I would be interested in how it copes with a kingfisher or a wagtail in their various settings.

I believe Graham will be testing the camera on the Kingfishers in the not too distant future. Small birds are always going to be challenging in flight. Not just because of their size but because they fly more erratically and don't tend to fly above the skyline to help the camera differentiate between them and the background. I am not sure that any camera will have the capability to effectively master that without the help of ideal positioning, prior knowledge and fieldcraft of the photographer. Besides, small birds aren't as impressive in flight as the bigger ones, so more often are better photographed at rest.

Yes this the really the absolute test. Small birds in flight are the ultimate test of any camera AF. I am very interested in the results that Graham gets from the kingfishers shoot with the Sony.

They look quite good. I'm still not sure, it's the viewfinder that puts me off and battery life. D4 battery just went flat today, 3127 shots. Sony seems interesting though.

Why do you need to get 3000shots out of a battery? I have never taken more than 500shots at any one event and always had a spare battery or two that were only were ever needed when I forgot to insert a freshly charge battery before the start of the event. Whilst we might decry the '400 images' that mirrorless offer, in practical terms I've never had to change battery at a critical time ..so far. That said, there are moments when I say “this is a bit irritatingâ€, “it's a shameâ€, “it would be better ifâ€. The truth is it does take a step change in your thinking and modus operandi to switch to mirrorless. If you are getting the results with your current equipmentwhy change? Your desire/need/benefit to do so has to be clear ..and the equipment good enough to encourage you to persevere. It may even need an epiphany to change an irritation into an advantage you are more comfortable with, like After retiring, I raged about teachers from the school opposite parking outside the front of my house all day, rather than use the school carpark. Not having a drive entrance at the front I liked to park my car there, rather than having to get it out of the garage at the rear of the property, every time I needed to just pop out for a few minutes. It irritated the hell out of me.until we had some daytime burglaries in the street. Several neighbours houses were targeted, we fortunately escaped attention. The police said that their empty driveways could have been an indicator of people out at work.where cars outside our house might have made it more questionable. From then onwards I was happy for people to park there (I even encouraged someone who wanted to park their daughters car for a month) . while we went out regularly for the day! I came to realise my car was safer away for vandalism and damage in the garage anyway any minor inconvenience was soon managed or forgotten.

Ian I agree about battery power 270 pixs on this shoot and as stated viewfinder went black at 20% but the spare battery in pocket back to 100% for these last few shots at quite a high ISO in poor light. With two camera bodies and 6 batteries, I should get through most normal shoots for a retired 80 yr old photographer! I did miss my old 80-400mm lens on this shoot so I may trade in the 70-200 for one as plenty of very good deals going at present. Click here to comment on this image.
