Itachi is claimed to be highly fast, what are some of his notable speed feats? travel speed feats mostly. THanks.

The fact that he reacted and dodged AFTER the bullet was fired makes it a reaction feat. The same with Itachi, he knew what was coming, but knowing what was coming doesn't help him in any way to counter what's coming after it was launched and no defense being up.
It doesn't matter what he was staring at. As has been demonstrated, if something occurs within the field of vision (which this most certainly did) of the Sharingan, it is recorded and the wielder of the doujutsu is made aware of it. There is absolutely no need for him to be looking directly at it. Direct focus is only necessary when there's multiple objects, moving extremely fast with complex motion, like Kirabi's swordplay. There was nothing like that in this case.
We have far more information in the pics you provide than we have in Itachi's case. In pic number 2 it clearly shows that dude standing there with the bullets already flying towards him in the air. He only starts his reaction in pic 3. We have no equivalent shot of Itachi standing there doing nothing, like this dude, with Kirin already in motion towards Itachi and then another pic of Itachi initiating Susanoo. These are two completely different situations.
Kirin struck at 1/1000th of a second once Sasuke's hand reached the end of its motion. That means Itachi had 1/1000th of a second to get Susanoo up or he would have died. Whether he tried to predict it or not, that is still impressive as that is faster than the speed of sound. Also do you know how fast a human eye can blink? 1/10th of a second. The difference between that strike and that should show you how near instant it was.
Kirin struck at 1/1000th of a second once Sasuke's hand reached the end of its motion. That means Itachi had 1/1000th of a second added onto the time it took Sasuke to execute his hand motion to get Susanoo up or he would have died.
Total Reaction Time = Sasuke Hand Motion + 1/1000 sec
Plenty of time in top tier ninja circles.
Anime elaborated on it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nofs_PanuY all the up to the point that it whited out and then right after showing that even as Kirin was coming down Itachi didn't have Susanoo active, no orange or red chakra around him nothing at 9:29. So yes Itachi did react to it.
The anime showed the Kirin-dragon going up into the sky before striking down, giving Itachi more time to predict and react.
Not really, he was still looking up at it just staring at it and the actual strike would still be done at 1/1000th of a second. Itachi literally had Susanoo up at the last possible moment here.

If he wanted to read sasuke's hand movement he'd be focusing on Sasuke's hand and not the giant lightning dragon.

I don't understand what you're saying.

That makes looking at Sasuke's hand movement not as important as you people are making it out to be.

I don't understand what you're implying, Itachi clearly didn't have up susanoo before Kirin but during. So the similarities in both scenes is that both Liu Kang and Itachi activated their defense after the enemy's attack had been fired which makes it a reaction feat. Knowing that the attack is coming won't help if your reaction can't keep up with the attack after it had been fired.

Thread super long, closing remarks now because I'm closing the thread soon
