Regis, those are two very nice shots.
How far are you from the eagle and how much did you crop? Did it also have a 1.4x or just the 400?
Thanks

Who says it isn't good for BIF. Depends on who is using it and the techniques they use. In your case it works for BIF.
Sort of like "everyone" says the 6D can't do BIF or action. But some of my best BIM (Motion-combo of flying and wading) and action (Civil War re-enactors staging a charge against a cannon.) pictures were taken with my 6D.

Robert, the differeance between the 5Ds and the 6Dmkl is that the 5 has basically the same focus system as the 1Dx, while the 6 has the system from the 5Dll which is not exactly a fire breathing dragon at focus. It's not too bad with the center point. I shot as much sports and nature with my 5ll as with any camera I have now, but my keeper rate was just really poor. BUT I did get some outstanding prize winning shots and even best-of-show with it. But you're working pretty darn hard for them. Yes it's the 12" behind the camera but the correct tool for the job REALLY helps!!!

No Eagle. This was an Osprey about 125 to 150 feet away. I cropped about half the photo. I used a Canon 2x III converter.

Your first shot is truly amazing !!!

The AF of the 6D/5DII beat the heck out of the focus on my Miranda and Olympus 35 mm bodies, I think it was called my wrist motion. And as to the keeper rate, that also beats 24/36 shot rolls of film. I have shot bursts longer than that with my 6D, let alone my 7DII.
You use work(ing) and hard as if they were four letter words-the kind you aren't supposed to use. Oh well, my students used to complain about my language in the classroom, too many four letter words, like - "home work".

I have followed Regis for some time now and his shots of Eagles and ospreys are fantastic.

When I used to shoot sports with my 5ll, believe me, I used plenty of 4 letter words. Things like F'n-A, that would have been a KILLER shot, IF only it had been in focus!!!

Ken loves all Canons. Personally, I'd go for the 5D Mark IV, as it has near a full stop more dynamic range and slightly better low light high ISO and 30MP. I'm very satisfied with my 22MP 5D Mark III and not likely to need or want for more for quite a while.

I don't plan on getting rid of the 7d ll, just wanting to branch out a bit. Thanks for the photos, nice to know that I could "grab" a shot if something presented itself. Outside of an annual trip to Florida in the winter don't do a lot for about 4 months. This would really give me something to work on.

Why don't you most often ask that?

Moire' is usually encountered photographing objects like some fabrics and most feathers.
Any minute repetitive pattern, like lens line target. All sensor will show moire' at some fine point, though.

I have both camera bodies and use the for different situation. In macros, where I have good natural light or am in the studio, I use my 5DSr. I also use it for tripod mounted landscapes. The 5D if is a great general camera with much better ISO response and is my walk around camera. When need better low light performance or quicker, more accurate auto-focus, I use the Mark iv. They are both wonderful cameras.
