I'm still thinking of buying the R5 mark II. Should I or should I wait? I BOUGHT IT!!!

[Jan1977]

The way I get around it is to set the power off from 30 seconds to either 10 or 30 minutes, I have two of the new batteries I rented with the R5ii. This morning I Have it set to 30 minutes as I am heading to the pond early and there won't be many birds. Also the older batteries work also but not for video or pre-shooting and I have plenty of those

it is also 32F 0C and a 5 mph wind blowing right towards me but what can you do, besides freeze.

We'll see if you get warmed up for getting the R5 ii Good luck testing and staying defrosted

Wore my gloves and winter coat and knit hat, was ok until the wind started blowing.

BUT WHAT A DAY INCLUDING AN EAGLE!! Of course I had my R6ii on at the time but just pointed out the smaller buffer!
