It's funny but this thread made me go back and look at all my old BIF shots, and realize that I'd taken almost none since I got the 5D2. Even though the pixel density (pixels per duck) is the same as on the 20D with which I did most of my bird shooting, the frame just feels "too big" and the birds too far away.

Maybe I've become too used to the look of high res shots out of the 5D2 and just can't bring myself to crop down to the center 20-30% of the frame. And maybe that means I'm trying to talk myself into a 7D just for the birds....

Hmmm... a 7D would be way cheaper than a long white lens, but my long white lens is worth the same as when I bought it 5 years ago while my 3-4 old camera bodies are basically worthless. Decisions, decisions.
