With 400 f/5.6 you gotta be much closer, otherwise too much of an enlargement crop will not please you regardless of the motion blur or lack of it. Maybe with some of your tricks we could shoot a bird at 1/60 sec Canon EOS 30D, Sigma 30 1.4, Sigma 10-20, Sigma 105 Macro, 135L, 430ex, Lowepro Mini Trekker AW, Manfrotto 3001pro w/486rc2 and 804rc2 head, Manfrotto 681 w/ 3232 head.
