I always love to record wildlife in better video quality since CANON 5dm2
one of the reason I am quite interest on CANON EOS 90D is the capability of record 4k video
I did quick record with below condition
– handheld
– low light , while shooting picture ISO1250, 1/20, F5
– no edit , just trim and uploaded full size to Yoututbe
– internal Mic
update 20191023
another quick record of 4k using the 90D
*** I move the camera toward the flower into center … the camera auto get the bird focus and the AF point show it focus or trying focus on the “moving object” – bird
in case , anyone interest on the bird .. it is Chestnut-necklaced Partridge
click on the link and choose Video Quality to 2160 (4k)
overall, the quality look good.. but the size seem very small compare to 1dxm2 ???
in case you interest on Malaysia Partridge series | liewwk Nature
The spiderhunters are birds of the genusArachnothera, part of the sunbirdfamilyNectariniidae.
The genus contains eleven species found in the forests of south and
southeastern Asia. They are large representatives of the sunbird family,
with drab plumage and long strongly curved bills. They feed on both
nectar and a range of small arthropods.

8. Streaked Spiderhunter, 纹背捕蛛鸟, 紋背捕蛛鳥, Arachnothera magna, タテジマクモカリドリ, KELICAP-JANTUNG GUNUNG BIASA
– common submontane and montane Spiderhunter ..
– streaky chest and back
– very common at Fraser Hill, Genting Highland, Cameron Highlands
– A large and noisy inhabitant of tropical and subtropical hill forests. Distinctive in its range; a large spiderhunter with a long, curved black bill and black streaking all over its yellow-green upperparts and lighter yellow underparts. Gleans invertebrates from foliage, but also hovers around and probes into flowers for nectar. Often moves with mixed flocks. Calls frequently, giving a loud, decisive-sounding “chitick, chitick!”. (Ebird)
