Sorry, I thought you had bought an a7R4a, but have confused you with another Dyxum member.

As a recent a7iv buyer, and after having done my homework, I can recommend it as a reasonably priced high performance camera with Sony’s latest sensor tech, AF and eye tracking algorithms and other smarts that will reliably capture fast moving subjects.
It’s very early days for me, but I have posted Sony a7iv the Camera Talk, E-mount full frame thread if you’re interested.
Looking forward to seeing more of the gannets anytime you head out that way.

Question for both: did you crop a lot?


No a lot for this shot. The trick for the bee eaters is that you do not want them too near or too far. Too near, our autofocus is hard to keep up. Too far, we get no details.

After numerous visits, we get picky with the food that the bird is bringing back.

Baby steps compared to most other posts in this thread, but a nice start I hope.
