Bird photography

new to the site.
Presently have canon R body and started to enjoy taking bird photos. I have noticed EF 100- 400 lens with adapter has lag time to focus in comparison to when attached to Canon DSLR. When I connect Canon R body with RF lens focusing is instantaneous.
Question is, DSLR is better for bird photography in comparison with canon Mirrorless? Rumors says that New R5 coming out has 45 MP which is a problem when shooting bird photo as grains will pop with higher ISO. OR am I wrong in my understanding?

Try the Tamron G2 100-600MM. Very sharp. Doesn’t answer your question (sorry) but very happy with this lens.

Yes, everything you say is true. There is always a down side to adapters. The new RF 100-400 will have better AF - BUT is a pinhole f7.1
......what are they thinking

Yeah but it's 100-500 so probably at 400 it might similar to the existing 100-400, maybe 5.4 at 400? If that makes the lens smaller, lighter and more affordable, I'm in.
Also r bodies autofocus at least to f11, so the 1.4x should autofocus.

donot get me wrong, it does autofocus with EF 100-400 USMll, but there is slight lag and some searching at 400mm f/5.6. And it not the case when I attach the same lens on to EOS 50 D (old discontinued model). In this dslr focus is very quick.

Oh yeah, I forgot it is 500 ...I would be surprised if it was anything but 7.1 @400 tho ....MAYBE f6.3
I have heard that AF @ f11 does "work" - but not that great - at least with the current bodies.....

I rented a ef 400 last summer and used it with a non Canon 2x on an RP recently, it seemed fine in general, would 'lose its place' once in a while and hunt, but I wasn't trying to track birds, just slower moving wildlife

Yes, I do. Still there is some lag at 400 mm f/5.6 in comparison when attach with dslr
