[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 820632, member: 48483"] A D500 or D810 for sure will improve the AF experience, but unknown if they would be better to the point where it justifies the extra cost. On Friday I was at the Madison Audubon Goose Pond and there were just some blackbirds out to chase. My 70-200mm f/2.8G VR was having a rough time keeping focus with the tall grass the blackbirds favor. The birds were lost in shadow frequently. I had AF-C on for my Z5 and was in the mode where I put a center target on the subject and the camera should see it and track all over the viewfinder. Tracking kept wandering off the birds unless the red patch on a wing was there to see. It's just hard to say how much field conditions are affecting the result, or is it the gear, or the photographer? [/QUOTE]
