Haven't done much action photography but I thought I would test the camera's focus tracking. My dog loves jumping to catch a ball so .......
Fuji XT5 Fuji XF 70-300mm lens at 70mm (105mm FFE) 1000th second at F4 on continuous shooting, The tracking seems to work quite well.

I had these coming up on my front lawn in Liverpool in the first house I owned. Lovely!
Were you 'looking after them' for a 'friend'? ???

"Ere, la', watch me plants for me for a couple of weeks while I deal with the bizzies, and there may be a drink in it" sort of thing?

A photo I took at Arundel Castle on Sunday using my new Sony a7Rv which I'm still getting used to and enjoying.
It has a cracking subject recognition feature where it locks onto the eyes of people, animals or birds and tracks the moving subject.

I took your post as I think you meant it.... it's expensive (it is to me anyway) and with cameras you get what you pay for. Not knocking skill of the individual but the latest kit and tracking at the high end is incredible, my 8 year old pentax can't track anything, image quality though is pretty good when I get it right.

Please, no apology necessary, as a new poster on this thread I didn't want to come across as some flash Harry. (No offence to HWT of course! :p)

That's the only thing, the tracking for action shots, well and ability to crop more aggressively without losing quality, that I miss using cheaper (still not cheap) cameras. I love the quality from my older Pentax which is now 14 years old and my Fuji x-t1 which is 10.

I love Fuji cameras too. I changed from Canon about 8 years ago and never regretted it. The quality of the jpeg images is excellent and I much prefer the manual dials to electronic controls, they seem much more intuitive to me. I had an XE first and the ability of a mirrorless camera to show through the viewfinder exactly what the image you are going to capture looks like and make adjustments before pressing the shutter was a revelation.
