first time out with the M1X impressed

[blackfox]

few hours out this morning with the M1X and a mixed bag of shots , both near and far ,static and b.i.f , seems ? to suffer less with noise than others perhaps due to as was discussed before xmas the batteries are further from the sensor/processor .. . love the bird i.d works really well took me all of 5 minutes to master it .. the 1-mkiii will shortly be for sale . was going to keep it but cant see the point .. the only thing I have changed is I found the the peak designs leash a bit thin and pressurising so have replaced with op/tec padded strap using some spare P/D clip ends I had spare . results to date below .more to follow

You must be pleased with the stonechat shots?

[blackfox]

Yep looks like I made the right move for once

[MJ224]

Well done Jeff. They are lovely shots 👍

[blackfox]

Cheers mark , just a test run today but well pleased

[antpitta]

Pretty good start. Nice Stonechats. Sure you'll soon be knocking it out of the park (as they say)!

[Phill D]

Great start looks like the learning curve was pretty short .

[blackfox]

Cheers phil yeah knowing the mkiii inside out helped plus a few u.tube vids

[Dennis Russ]

Lovely shots. You must tell me all the settings you use PLEASE so I can set them in my New M1X...

Congrats on your new acquisition Jeff.

It wouldn't matter what camera you had in your hands your bird shots would still put most us to shame.

"2nd Stonechat is a belter Jeff - I love my =EM1X - you should try it with the 300mm f4 pro mate- I'm out for a day on Monday so hopefully will get some images

[BDennis]

Nice shots, I like the Stonechats!

Only reason to keep Mk3 is if you wanted the Starry Sky AF for astrophotography, I never did understand why they couldn’t add that via a firmware update. Can’t remember if there are any other features the Mk3 had that are not on the 1X.

As I said earlier bill the mkiii is a superb camera it’s just that all the bells and whistles reasons I bought it for don’t apply to what I use it for I.e 99% birding . . I will be selling the mkiii once I get round to taking some pics of it .

Hopefully once used prices come down in the next few years i'll probably be picking up a used MkIII just for the Starry Sky AF, but for now i'll keep using what i have.
