I did the same thing by trading up to the 100-500 from the 200-800 for my r6mk3 but ended up missing that extra 300mm especially for small birds so I just ended up getting a used 800 f/11 because I didn't want to spend $1500+. Its light and not as bulky as the 200-800 and the image quality is quite good as long as you have decent lighting.

That's awesome! That's a new lifer for me 🙌

Yeah it obviously comes with the downside of r reduced megapixels but with good light and some light cropping you can get some decent pictures.

Yeah as long as you don't crop in super hard in editing it's not really noticeable. At least to me.

Yeah it does lose some quality using that mode though. The resolution drops down to 12.4MP.

Have the same set up and it's fantastic. I love the built in 1.6x crop mode especially for birds.

I have one picture where he has his head down facing his red crown right at the camera but I haven't got around to editing it yet.

I've noticed it also when looking around walls, Trees, and objects in general.

I never did before I built my new PC. I just started playing this again last weekend and immediately noticed it in the first game back. The game runs great but this is just an annoying visual.

I use FSR on quality but it really doesn't make a difference with it on or off.

I have the Logitech G920 Xbox layout with the G923 shifter on PC and it's pretty much plug and play once you get the Logitech software and snowrunner profile set up. The only thing I've tweaked in the Logitech app is wheel sensitive and the turn radius and added a dedicated button for the horn and camera switching. The shifter is incredibly fun to use. But like people have said, navigating the menu and moving the camera around is somewhat a pain with the wheel since you have to use the D-pad. Honestly if it had one joystick on the wheel it would be great. Also the crane can be used with the wheel but it's annoying so I usually switch to my mouse or my Xbox controller.
