Thanks for doing the measurements Arash. Seems to confirm what the different discussions had settled on after a number of confusing data points had trickled over the past few weeks.
I think 14.1ms is good enough for most BIF. People often bring up hummingbirds but almost every hummingbird image I've ever selected to post process has the wings either fully extended to the back or the front where you don't get distortion even with slower scanning sensors. I think there will be some issues with very erratic movements like a swallow doing a crazy change in direction. Also maybe there will be some of that staircase stepping when you zoom in on a wing edge?
For me the biggest issue with 14.1ms will be leaning lines of trees and grass in the backgrounds. Glass half full that will force me to choose better OOF backgrounds
Hey Geoff,
Hope you are doing well! Did you guys get the 7R6 too?
I am also mostly concerned about BG distortion and stair-case wings.... Looking back at my A9 II files from back then , I can find few examples of staircase wings (oddly with Canada geese)... that camera was ~6 msec I believe so 14msec sounds a bit on the borderline but might end up being OK.
I got this camera since I had the 7R5 so this would be an upgrade to that. Would be nice all-arounder and backup to the A1
