---------------
I have a oppurtunity to take a photo of a Peregrine Falcon in the wild (in the city ). My vantage point will put me about 50 yards away. I have a 400 5.6. Should I use my 60D or my 5D3 ? I know I will have to crop the photo to get a close up view when finished

5D3, surely the AF and IQ will be better, you may have to crop more but will be fine unless you blow it up and print it enormous.

60D. Crop factor will really help. AF and IQ will be fine given you have some good technique. Monopod? Gene

I'd use the 60D for the crop factor. If you shoot at ISO 640 or less nobody will be able to tell which body it was shot on.

Why not bring both bodies, and use both???


If steroids are illegal for athletes, should PS be illegal for models?
