Really Nice Allen,

What is the main difference between your 1D MkII N and a 20D?

Greetings,
These are very good images. Considering how small the subject of the #2, you still got in sharp focus. Enjoy...


5DII and a few L lenses.

Better faster focus, more focus points (45), vert grip, af up to f/8 so you can put a 2XTC on super-teles and get af.

What do you use your 5D for Birds? Landscape? Other?

Landscape, Other - (weddings, my kids, trips), backup camera for birds for 2nd lens. I mount lens on 5D I expect to use the least.

The MK III will be the best bird camera bar none IMHO. The only 2 advantages 5D has over 1D MK II N for birds is better high ISO performance and better IQ at higher res resulting in a better picture if you can get closer to subject. The MK III will eliminate those 2 advantages of the 5D.

Fantastic in-flights Allen! So sharp with great exposure. Some of the best I've seen.

I've been out of town the last 10 days and haven't been able to keep up on the board. I have a lot to catch up on here as I'm sure there are some great posts.
