I like what you've done with the B&W images. As you say, a beige cat on a beige background doesn't make for an engaging colour photo.

There's lots of choice. I've got a couple of SanDisk 2TB ones but amongst the well-respected brands I doubt there's anything in it.

A lot of pros do submit images to competitions. For instance, Andy Parkinson is a past winner of WPOY. He was a judge this year. If your image does well,...

Just like some people dream of returning to the age of steam 😁 Each to their own....

I don't uae a custom mode for static birds. I just use A or M as appropriate (probably at least 50% M). I have a custom mode for "action" which...

Hmmm...

If depth of field was a serious drawback then no pro wildlife photographer would ever risk their livelihood by using m4/3rds. Yet...

Some people simply don't understand that digital cameras are heavily constrained by internal memory.

@shakeyHands the reason the Canon 200-800 is so cheap and light is that it's an f9 lens. And there are quite a few reports on the 'net about the lens...

For 25FPS I was thinking of SH2. I think normal C-AF has a maximum of 20FPS (which is still very good). I tend to use 10FPS for C-AF and find that OK...

With Sync-IS subject movement is always going to dictate the minimum shutter speed although you can often get away with a low shutter speed if you take...

That looks very good. I'm not too bothered about protecting the lens from knocks - it;s not been an issue on any of my other lenses. For the odd time...

Outbreaks of bird flu do get reported but it seems to hit fairly localised areas so the overall effect on the food supply probably isn't that great although...

I'm surprised that the camera didn't go into "computer says no" mode. I've had mine refuse to process a HHHS shot with a lot less subject movement...

Ross the fiddler The amplified movement of a lens is proportional to its focal length. I'm sure you can see that. And you'll undoubtedly know the old...

I've had this happen in the past. In my case I tracked the problem down to me accidentally covering the the little sensor below the EVF. Out in the field...

Well I did warn you about my memory 😁

So it's only really for third party lenses then. The info pop-up in the camera menu doesn't make...

Great photo. Not an easy bird to see let alone photograph.

It sounds like a firmware bug to me. I haven't bothered doing the update yet as I currently have no need to photograph at 50FPS with my 50-200/f.28.

To be fair, Mike has only ever criticised OMs focusing with respect to video and if you delve into the world of professional videography I think you'll...
