A couple of my better shots

[bryanA6600]

I just recently switched to a Sony A6600+Sig 100-400DN from a Nikon D500+200-500 kit in July. I am really loving it and it's half the weight. But beside some ergonomic issues(mostly resolved with a smallrig) I find that overall it's better than the Nikon kit but the keeper rate could be better. I really like detail as opposed to postage stamp type shots and crop a lot. I am wondering if either the Sony 100-400 or/and RMR4 would be significantly better? Yes i've tried the Sony 200-600 and liked it a lot but it's not much lighter than the N 200-500. I also shoot in H+(11fps) as I find the H(8fps) is to slow for heavy action

In retrospect after going through my shots I am pretty darn happy but think a lot comes down to the opportunities you get and making the best of them. Here in the north west things tend to be seasonable with migratory species coming and going. And light tends to be an issue and I am getting older .... maybe I just need to time travel back a few years
