The camera shoots at 16 FPS, is weather sealed, and is equipped with built-in GPS, making it a great choice for safari. The full frame sensor sports an enhanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF, which provides smooth, quick, and continuous autofocusing in Live View during video shooting. Rack focusing is possible simply by touching elements within the scene on the intuitive 3.2" touchscreen LCD. This sensor and updated processor benefits still shooters as well with the ability to shoot up to 170 RAW files in a single burst if using a CFast 2.0 memory card (not included in this packagE). If working with a CF card (not included with this package), the buffer is rated at up to 73 RAWS in a burst, or infinite JPEGs. This, coupled with the fast-tracking performance of the 61-point High Density Reticular AF II system, makes the camera ideal for any event.

The lens features a fast and near-silent AF system that is optimized for wildlife and sports shooting. Image Stabilization offers 2 Modes: Mode 1 compensates for shake in all directions and is designed for hand-held shooting. Mode 2 compensates for horizontal shake and is helpful only when shooting across the horizontal axis (i.e. panning). Shoot relatively close to your subject with this telephoto lens across all focal lengths for greater versatility in small spaces. You can also take advantage of the focus range limiter, which enables shorter focusing times on an already fast and near-silent AF system. Seals are placed around the mount, all switches, and zoom and focusing rings for protection while shooting in inclement weather.

Between the camera and the lens, you can optionally mount the included 2x extender to give your lens more reach through magnification. It features a built-in microcomputer for seamless communication among camera body, lens and extender. Extenders allow photographers to shoot from greater distances without having to resort to using larger and longer lenses. It is a great tool to have on safari where vehicle space is limited.
