Shot with a Canon R5 Mark II + EF500 F4L IS II USM + 1.4x III TC.
A tough shot to edit amongst those nasty branches.

Thanks, Mike.Ooft! Don't know how the heck you got that in focus!?
The Canon R5 Mark II pre-capture and auto-focus are a game-changer. No more missed shots.

Looks like it! No way I could get a shot like that on my toy camera…
I saw a review of the R5ii where the high iso noise was described as a disappointment but it seems to be working well enough for you!

I guess that was Duade's video on YT.
Yes, the noise is very disappointing, and i don't think it's as sharp as the mark 1.
CR3 raw files are not opening correctly in Topaz photo Ai neither, which doesn't help matters.
The pre-capture and auto-focus is fantastic, though.
Now hoping that a firmware update will iron out the creases. If not, I will be in two minds, whether to keep it or not.

Yes that's the one I watched... interesting you have had a similar experience. Seems like Canon got a lot right with this one so hopefully they can sort out the flaws. Cheers
