Well.. I don’t always continuously shoot, but as I can see you are an aviation photographer (or have Atleast taken some aviation photos) here’s an example
(I only continuously shoot on fast jets normally)
Are you familiar with the Nellis flex departure? The flex departure is similar to what I will be describing. The flex departure is where the planes takeoff and do a sharp turn / bank showing the topside of their aircraft. A great angle for us photogs.
In January there were F-35’s at my local airport. I caught them taking off and they did a cool sharp bank/turn out like the Nellis flex departure.
The F-35s we’re going fast on takeoff obviously, and they only began to turn into my direction when they were equal to my side/straight infront of my side. I was continuously shooting because it’s a fast jet, but by the time the jet began its turn I was shooting 1.40FPS because my buffer was full, and thus I missed a lot of angles of the plane turning. I got about 2 good shots of it turning out, the others were taken just seconds before the jet started its turn (prior to my buffer being full and my camera slowing down to 1.40FPS from 5FPS)
I normally time my continuously shooting really well, but sometimes like this time I just want to hold it down.
Here’s an example of the departure they did, and one of my few good photos of it (image downsized 1200px)
My T6S has worked fine getting shots of jets at Nellis taking off from the flightline, various airshows and the Thunderbirds practicing.
I might suggest a better lens instead of camera. I used a Sigma 150-600mm for this shot. The good thing is if the better lens doesn't improve what you seek it will still be a nice upgrade to a newer camera. Almost can't go wrong with better glass.
This was a hand held shot using the big Siggy lens.
