Looks really good. I'm wondering what lens you used as that has some impact
as well.
The K-3 is looking pretty good so far.

Thanks, Bruce. I did a complete writeup of the test in the post. The
lens was a Tokina ATX 400mm f5.6 - an older lens from the film era. My
original copy of this lens got a fungus infection so I replaced it with
another, IIRC for under $400. Not a fancy high end lens, but one that I
like. Fill flash was with an AF360FGZ, but virtually no fill effect is
seen. I have a couple of the AF360's but use them for macro work where a
weaker flash is needed since the shots are usually well short of the
minimum distance that the flash is designed for. If I was gonna do birds
other than for tests I'd get a stronger flash.
Comments not in the post: I used the lens at f6.7 and f8. Lens reaches
its maximum sharpness at f8 or 11, but is a bit soft at f 5.6. The
background foliage was about 1 yard / meter away from the subjects. The
subject were about 12 - 15 feet form the camera.
