I wonder if Canon and Nikon users post 'did you see' messages such as this on their respective forums. I was up on the hillside above Ribblehead Viaduct on Friday when Flying Scotsman came through and there were hundreds if not thousands of photographers spread out right across the moors. I was with an Olympus using friend from my camera club and it never occurred to me to check what gear everyone else was using.

PS My gear for the day was a K3 + D FA*70-200 zoom and K5 + DA*16-50 zoom. I'll get round to posting something in The Gallery eventually
Had it been a Canikon it would hardly be worth the mention, two a penny they are!

Can you ever get close enough? Serious birders remortgage their homes or rob banks for lenses and the equipment to use them, gimbal heads etc., it is on a par with astro!
If the pros want to photograph say a kingfisher, they'd establish where a favourite diving branch is and be focussed on it before the bird got there. That doesn't require superfast AF, just a superfast reaction by the photographer!
Have a look at these: https://www.flickr.com/photos/g_neville/albums/72157670703986816 (all taken on a Pentax.)

The family could even upload their own photos to it directly from their mobiles (though I've never tested that!)

and of course you can crop
Suspect he'll live to regret the choice, perhaps! It's not cut and dried the FF camera would be best for the task.
