Thank you for this.<br /><br />Whilst you are perfectly correct about never having enough "reach" in wild bird photography, there is a financial benefit that became apparent to me recently. Relative lens performance aside, IMHO it is fair to conclude also that the 7D body gives a new "extended" life to the shorter telephoto lenses. For example, I presently use a 40D with 300 2.8 + 1.4. Whilst a 500 is desirable, it's outside my current reach at >£5k, however for just over £1k, I guess my 300 alone "becomes a 540" (300*18/10)(ignoring the constant 1.6 sensor effect). This is extremely powerful stuff. Best keep this quiet, otherwise Canon will undoubtedly lift the price of the 7D or make future APS-C bodies less capable. Topical subject this, this week's AP looks at sensor formats from a slightly different angle and largely concludes that from a resolution perspective A2 prints from the 7D are not far behind the 5DMk2! Impressive stuff the 7D!<br /><br />Just heading off to raid the old piggy bank!<br /><br />Best regards<br />JulianJuliannoreply@blogger.com
