It shoots birds. In fact, the Canon RF 100-500mm 4. 5-7. 1 L IS USM does a great job of that. Make no mistake, this is a beastly lens. It's large but not overly heavy. But if you're birding, then it's got exactly what you need if you're using higher megapixel bodies.

Photographing from afar is one of the most convenient and surefire ways to do wildlife photography. But some wild animals are simply great for close-up snaps. The challenge, therefore, lies in getting close to these creatures to get the perfect shots without disrupting them in their natural habitat.
After the treasure from Costa Rica, I bring to you the gems from the stunning South American country- Ecuador. Although Ecuador is one of the smaller countries in South America, it boasts an incredible diversity of habitats with unique wildlife.
Though I'm hesitant to call the Olympus OMD EM1 III a specialized camera, it could be the best way to describe it. Travel, landscape, wildlife and night photographers will adore its features. The small size combined with small lenses, deep depth of field at open apertures, and the build quality are all highly prized.
Many of you are of the philosophy that you hate zoom lenses, but the Panasonic 70-200mm f4 OIS Lumix S Pro is genuinely one of the most capable that we've tested for the system. Thus far, I've found it to be the fastest focusing lens that L mount has.

We're wondering the same thing you are: where is the Sony a7s III? With the Sony a7r series of cameras undergoing two other refreshes, the Sony a7s series hasn't seen a single one in years. We know that it's coming, but we don't have any idea when.

I'm very shocked at how much I liked the Sony 200-600mm f5. 6-6. 3 G OSS after playing with it for a weekend a few weeks ago. I'm not at all saying that because I doubt Sony's ability to make a great lens, but because I found the lightweight, focal length range, relatively compact size, and image stabilization combined well together to create what could arguably be Sony's most useful lens to date for photojournalism.
When we were shown the Sony 600mm f4 G Master OSS, I was sort of shocked to see and hear that it was coming. My first thought would have been another zoom lens for sports photographers, but it would be unlike Sony to really just announce a zoom lens.
