Focusing disasters with the D500!
#17
300 mm at µ 4/3 is equivalent 600 at FF. DoF aside, it's f/2.8 and you will have problems to find a 600/2.8. Now forget about equivalence - it's about speed, nothing else matters for small sensors to bring down the ISO.

 

But there's still an advantage for DSLR: While looking thrugh the EVF will suck the battery empty, no matter if bird at home or not, with the DSLR you always can watch without battery consumption.

 

And if the AF misses the shot and the tail of that little vulture is sharper than the eye, you still can comfort yourself "but I could watch the nest a whole day long and have still battery power. Maybe next time the AF will guess better"

Did I mention the easy power connection? With a power bar you can transfer energy via USB to the X-T2, you can use solar panels and other stuff. Unlike Nikon, who milks you for each gram of copper they put in their "Made in china"-cables. So power consumption IS an issue for mirrorless - but AF inaccuracy is no problem.

 

I would not like to have a Sigron 150-600 for mirrorless, it's far too heavy and the motors are too big to save energy. Of course, for birds you can't have enough reach. But I never managed to track a predictable duck with the Sigma handheld, so for me heavy tele is something I leave to you.  Rolleyes
