Thank you for your feedback, Louis. And lucky you for having 'real' wildlife in your backyard.Both these photos are shot at ridiculously low speeds for wildlife. Even if the IBIS stabilises the lens with wildlife they are always moving. For birds, optimally I want 1/1000 minimum and 1/2000 if I can get it. Obviously, m43rds has an issue with noise but so far I think the G9 has maybe 1-stop better noise control than the GH5/GX8. Even so there is noise in these captures (which are RAW converted to jpeg in LR) but I know that it is at a level I can filter most of that out in pp.
Getting good results with long tele lenses at low speeds is fantastic of course, but - and there is always a but - the problem I found is that at low speeds you must have a good deal of luck to get a reasonable sharp image if any at all.
Shooting live gritters require the high shutter speeds you mentioned or otherwise you can shoot all day long only to end up with disappointing results. As was all to often the case for me.
That said, at least you got these fine shots to show for ... :thumbs:
Kind regards.
