I had a brief chance (before our regularly scheduled Saturday rain started) to try the new firmware with the 800pf. This is the set-up I'm most familiar with. I could have used the 180-600 but as I don't have a previous frame of reference for that lens I decide to remove that variable. My impressions are that Bird AF SD is much better than anything before. It grabbed the eye of egrets very fast and stayed stuck to the GBH in flight as it passed in front of trees. The real test will be after the leaves fall and only the vertical trunks are left. As the osprey have left for the year, I'll reserve final opinion for next spring when I can better compare.
I hope to be able to test the new airplane SD mode in the next few weeks.....if it ever stops raining or winding on weekends.......
