not trying to be an arse, but you say the 7d2 isn't as in focus, but we know the 7d2 can focus really well, so surely that's just a poor shot, I mean you could easily get a sharp image with any on these cameras, unless its a quirk with that particular lens, on the 7d2 but then that's a lens issue not a camera one, so I struggle to see how that's a good comparison. Maybe compare 4 good shots from each

Hey there I bought the 5d mark iv and was wondering if it’s a good camera

@Glenn Bartley How did the skeeters treat you? As someone who is from there and spent my summers in the rainforest and flatlands of Lethem, I know the beauty of the country and its flora and fauna. Waking up in the morning and hearing the beautiful deafening sounds of all the birds and animals is an amazing time of the day, because as it gets hotter later, they usually go quiet. It was a treat watching your video as it brought back many memories. Would love to be able to return there with my cameras, but don’t think that will happen so will have to satisfy myself vicariously. And yes the R5 MK2 is an amazing camera for birding!!

OK, well I think the convenience of being able to set the lens down on the hood and not fall over outweighs any space considerations of the hard hood vs the soft hood.

Why use your hood on the dark ?

I love when wildlife photographer youtubers start their videos by walking up to the camera in the forest like they stumbled across it.

What an incredible experience! 2 years on... are you still using Breeze Browser? Also, what specs does your laptop have?

thank you Glenn, I recently had a tour in Colombia, (I sadly missed out on your Panama trip) this is a very helpful video.

With apps like Topaz, noise is not an issue anymore.

Thank you for this vide🎉o . So special and informative. Love the birds. ❤❤❤❤

Glenn is a rare example of an extremely talented and yet humble human being.

We all don't shoot raw, or use 1k frames per second

Thanks Glenn, for a brilliantly detailed, real-world, review. It has been very helpful to me!

Excellent in every sense of the word! Informative, fantastic photos and thorough. Thank you!

For seventeen years i've been sneaking off to go on little hunting trips around the world no i don’t even know what the fuck a quail is

Would you still recommend the 90d for a beginner bird photographer? It has pretty good image quality right? I thought of buying it and a Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary with it.

I currently shoot the 7D ii and I am looking at the 1Dx ii for a second body. I know what you are thinking... In 2024? Yes! I think that would still be an awesome camera for, now $1400, everything that I do. Thanks for your thoughts!

Hello Glenn, I'm considering these lenses for using with an R7, would you be able to remake this comparison on a modern body to see how they perform?

Thank you so much to bring us to see such a bird paradise...wonderful work and lots of affort....well appreciated 👍

its funny how you talking about autofocus while you yourself are not in focus but the background is. enjoyed the video nonetheless

I got the canon 400MM EF 5.6L lens

First time viewer. I’m hooked. Wonderful video. New to birding. You are so personable and engaging.

You forgot to mention the image stabilization of the zoom, that adds a lot to the usability.

Hey Glenn, I'm 18 years old bird photographer and i started bird photography 8 months ago and i use canon sx70 point and shoot But now i want more so I'm thinking of buying the canon r7 with ef 100-400mm mk2 Is this combo enough ? For long term ...

Spoiler: don’t watch this video if you ever wanted to bird this area yourself.

Hi, I’ve stumbled down the rabbit hole of wanting to replace/upgrade my camera. I currently have a (now discontinued) canon 200d which was perfect for my first ever camera. Mainly used for video and some photography. Now I’m really , really REALLY needing some advice … deciding whether to go for canon 90d, canon mark 5d iv, or canon R7 . The R7 looks attractive to me because of : the autofocus capabilities and the newer technology that come with mirrorless , I’m scared because of not knowing how to use it compared to my traditional camera , I’m embarrassed to say I have only ever used auto on my camera but I’m going to learn how to use manual. Also slightly worried about the ‘overheating’ rumours/problems with mirrorless, but apparently shouldn’t be an issue if I don’t intend to do shoot 30min + .. I’m interested in the canon mark iv because it seemed EVERYONE thinks it’s a beast and amazing but then after research I saw it’s better primarily for photography AND it doesn’t have a flip out screen (a feature I currently have and love) and then obviously the 90d …. I think is a really really good option as it’s a step up (several steps) to what I have and probably the most familiar one I’d be used to .. just scared of thinking the R7 is more superior I think is my problem… would really appreciate your thoughts.

hello Glenn I am reaching out trying to find people interested in being part of a livestream I wish to run at the end of the month would you be interested in taking part I must admit its hard to get youtubers willing to take part. I do think it will benefit both channels and you would be free to upload it to your channel after the event. Hope you have a good day. hope you are doing well

Awesome and very helpful video! Thanks.

Hi Glenn. Would you get a R5 over a 1dx Mark III?

Hi Glenn! You talked about the importance of the ISO test in the field, not in the studio. I agree with you. But it is also very important to do this with a consumer lens for wildlife. For example, canon 100-400 mark II, Sigma 150-600. You're doing an ISO test with a professional lens for a few thousand dollars. Not everyone can afford such a lens. I'm sure the results will be different with these bodies and cheaper lenses at high ISO. I'm talking about the sharpness and enlightenment of the lens. It definitely won't answer their questions for many and many will get different results than yours. I think for people who came to the equipment (lens) for several thousand dollars, this video will not be watched. They know and can try it in the right place.

Wowww! Just wow... Those shots are incredible! Have been following your work for a while now and can only congratulate you on an incredible collection of images.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Thank for sharing amazing trip and birds.

Glenn, Know you and Jan are busy but I wish I could encourage one of you to test a 4/3 Omi system in the real world of wildlife photography and post a video of your findings. As you many know, Pangolin Wildlife is offering some serious recommendations on the 4/3 Omi.

I bought a canon EF 400mm f5.6 and was very disappointed because its not as sharp as I expected, so I have sent it back. Now looking at the 100-400mm mkii or a 300mm is usm F4, I think the 100-400mm mkii will be the my choice, thanks for your review very helpful.

I was in Panama for one year ago and7I think I will take a New trip neste year because it was unforgettable, and i will use this opportunity to meat some m master in Karate in spite of my age.( soon 77 years old, så it is never too late to discover new "worlds"

Hi Glen I wondered if you ever use a filters on your lens, in very wet areas or are filters a focus no no.. I am thinking on going to a wet/humid area and wondered if its necessary for my Sony 200-600mm? I am not a lover of filters on lenses due to fall in sharpness and focus speed but...............

Is your travel buddy's last name Shapiro? I've seen his photos on eBird and many of the dates and locations on his photos match yours. Love these blogs, no matter old they are I just can't stop watching them!

Thanks for all the effort in producing reviews that take into account the wants and needs of bird photographers. A question, am in the process of acquiring an R5/100-500 and was wondering if the noise issue with Adobe was ever addressed?

Thanks for this informative video.I have had my R5 for just a couple of weeks and also came from using a 7D MKII with which I was never wildly impressed with and never really liked shooting over 800 iso. The R5 is stunning by comparison with my Sigma 500 f4 sport, not so much with the extenders but is pretty good with the 1.4x Once I had customised the settings for double BBF I pretty much got the hang of it in a couple of days. I have only ever used Canon dpp since my first dslr the Canon 10D.

This was the exact video I was waiting for thanks man

Between 5d iv and R7 wich better for wedding photo sessions and short clips??

I luv quails

In thailand we have guides who lead us to the best spots in national park ,the most famous is Keng krachan and they call the birds with youtube ,ouside NP ,they have hides also sometimes even in temples 15 km from pattaya ,water provided for the birds ,sometimes even bananas ,behind curtains of black shading plastic there is space for 3 to 7 people

Why not using eos m6 mark ii vs r7

What territory of the US are these American Dippers located

No way on earth I would replace my 7d2 with either 90D or R7. The build quality difference is night & day.

I think R5 don't belong to this category...why not R3

Mindblown Considering this vid was from its first version Btw which one is faster Topaz or this?
