I would love to know how you get on with wildlife and if the XT2 can do birds in flight.
I don't know if this is a good thing as I'm feeling an funny sensation in my wallet pocket.
I am not expecting the XT2 to rip up trees in that field. Frankly I've never been much good at BIF, even with Nikons!
I think the problem with ALL electronic viewfinders foray action photography, is the momentary loss of sight of the subject, when the exposure happens. It's ok for shots where there is space in the frame for the subject to move and not be lost to the eye. But if you fill the frame with a rapidly moving subject...you don't get a second shot. You are too busy trying to find it again and lock onto it.
Struggled with the XT1 following a blackcap in a bramble bush using 400mm. I am told the XT2 is better in this respect but have yet to prove or disprove.
Watched a video of two guys comparing gather XT2 and D500 at a horse race track in USA. They were blown away with the XT2 on many things but still made reference to this loss of line of sight still being evident and something you would have to get used to....or not!
