Burnett,

As has been mentioned, you do very well with your 70D. I still have mine but for what I've been shooting (birds and assorted wildlife), the 7D2 is making a huge difference. Does anyone near you have one.... like at the games you photograph? The AF system along with the frames per second are helping me a lot. I would think you'd find the same things with your sports photography but it would be cool if you could try one out in that setting.

There is also the LensRentals.com or Borrowlenses.com option. He could rent one to try it out. A four day rental on LensRentals.com is $74. I've rented lenses to try them out from them with good results.

Also a very good idea. $75 isn't much for a real life trial, though I'm pretty sure there's shipping costs added to that... so around $100? give or take?

Also, 4 days is just an example. You can rent it for shorter or longer periods of time.

I already mentioned this in one of the 100-400ii threads. I was at a semi local bird rookery this past Tuesday. There were 7 Canon shooters there.... 4 of us had the 7D2 and 100-400ii combo. One of the guys had a 1DX and the 200-400 w/1.4X. That lens is a beast.... I'm sure it's excellent but man, is that thing huge. I have to say.. it was nice seeing something so nice and not being envious. I am content with my 7D2/100-400ii combo.

From time to time, I do wonder about the improvements when using a full frame camera. One of the guys where I was on Tuesday was using a 300 f/2.8 on a 5D3. His comment was.... I was going to buy a 7D2 but decided to get a 5D3 and I can't believe the difference. I wasn't sure what to say so I just said: "The 5D3 is an excellent camera." I didn't ask him what he was using with his 300 f/2.8 before he got his 5d3.

I know I'm rambling here..... I guess I feel guilty for not feeling guilty for shooting a crop camera. ;) Is there something wrong with me?

100-400ii and 7DMKii look like they were designed for each other. TBH, most of the photos in the 7DMK2 that get me to stop and look are usually that combo.

I have to say after a week I'm extremely happy with this body. I've yet to even tap in to the AF abilities yet it seems pretty snappy and spot on.

The bottom line is it is FUN to shoot and the IQ is superb! The plethora of options is great for someone who likes to tinker and fine tune. Something majorly missing from the 6D.

50 1.8ii wide open which seems sharper on the crop than my 6D.

I'm sure it's nice... but I'm almost 62. I can hand hold the 100-400ii pretty easily... I would have to use a monopod or gimbal/tripod all the time with that thing.
