I need a larger memory card in my camera.

That's it? That's a given, before shooting!

Spray and pray away. Pixels are free. Memory cards are cheap.

How did the focus hold up?

The pixels are free, but it is grueling searching through about 500 shots from a good birding day for the few I'm going to put in my OK to display files and that 1 image that is the best of the lot.

I guess I'm spoiled. With a Sony RX10M4, I can shoot a burst up to 24fps, and I can record 1500 or so raw files on a 32 gb card. I almost never do either.

I just don't understand "Spray and Pray". I'm more of a "Deerhunter" type of photographer. One shot.

What I learned is that it is really hard to track, learned to shoot in much shorter 3 to 4 frame bursts before I got rid of my 7DII.

Spray and pray. Surely you need to think before pressing the shutter. If you are whale watching or birds in flight or anything moving quickly the answer is yes. If it is a sloth or a bird in a tree or a cat sleeping single shot would be the better plan. Just because you can shoot at 10fps does not mean you have to.
