[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 830262, member: 50197"] Made a quick trip over to Cypress to try out the new gear. Made a few initial setting changes and headed over to the park to check out the AF capabilities. I was not disappointed. While not instantaneous or flawless, it did a very good job of finding and locking on to the bird's eye and tracking it. Fps are very impressive. I'm going to have to figure out how I want to balance not taking too many shots of static subjects, and yet be ready to get that great series when a critter is in motion, or doing something interesting. Unfortunately, the ospreys were doing more sitting on the nest rather than flying. I only got one series of one in flight, and that wasn't a flying into or out of the nest.
