In relation to static wildlife, at what shutter speed can you go to in order to get a sharp image using all the image stabilization that both the lens and camera (R5) have to offer ? I also have the EF 100-400 IS II and would be trading it against any planned purchase of this lens and like what you said, I would not be happy about the EF one going but getting the new RF would make up for it I have no doubt.
BADCOPY PRO REVIEW ISO
I would be very interested to hear from you, how far you are willing to push the ISO up to while using the lens for wildlife action and have you had an opportunity to use the camera in poor light. I use it for sport and wildlife, wildlife being my main passion in relation to photography. I absolutely enjoy using the camera ever time I take it out. I ordered it well before it was released and Canon delivered to the outlet on time. I recently traded a 5DSR and a EOS R in order to afford the Canon R5 and boy am I delighted I did so. Hi Martin, I enjoyed reading your in depth review of the Canon RF 100-500. I still like the grip because of how it feels in my hands with a long lens on, but the button locations on it could also stand some additional attention, in my opinion. I don’t know if this is something that can be addressed in firmware, but I wish Canon had taken action to keep the FPS up for a long as possible without a battery switch like this. Note that I had this happen to me on back-to-back days using the 500 mm f/4L mark 2 with the Canon control-ring adapter. A quick swap of the batteries in the slots will restore the 12 FPS speed.
I do find that the grip is not “smart” in that it will allow the battery in slot 1 to drain to less than 70% and then the FPS of the camera will slow, while that second battery will be at or near 100%. I have gotten 3000+ images on a single battery on a single outing with no grip. I now have a total of 4 of them but I am finding that with the grip, I rarely have more than 50% total drain once I return home, and I find stuff to take lots of images of (butterflies, dragons, bugs, etc). I just want to comment that I have had my r5 since August 1 and have been shooting with the original NH battery that came with it. Standing around for hours waiting for some action to happen can be painful. I have my r5 and the battery grip but there are so few birds around now that I feel I have not been able to give it a real shake down. I am going to sell off the 100-400 mk2 toward this one. Well, your review sure did a lot to settle my concerns on buying this lens, given its cost and the fact that I already own the 100-400 mk2 and two other big whites. I don’t think you’ll have anything to worry about. I don’t even really take care to keep the batteries in a warm pocket etc. I don’t really see a reduction compared to using them in regular temperatures. The batteries these days work great in the cold. I don’t have any concerns about the batteries on my winter trips.
These days I tend to shoot wildlife at f/10 to f/14 anyway because I want more of the subject sharp, so it’s not a concern for me, but you may miss that slightly, but my guess is not as much as you might think. I think if you have a couple of spares you’ll be fine.Ħ00mm at f/4 is nice for single subjects, but if the subject is relatively close, even at 7.1 or smaller there is still a lot of nice bokeh to be had.

I have bought two spare batteries, and keep them with me, and I think I’ll probably by one more to be safe, but that will be for when I am out on full days. :/ I have found battery use to be slightly on the heavy side, probably due to both the increased frame rate and in-body stabilization, but I didn’t have to change batteries in the field on either of my ventures out, although they were not very long, but did result in a few hundred images each day. I waited on ordering my second R5 and I’m told months now too, but at least I have my first, so I’m in a better position than many people.
