So you dont think the MKIII is giving you better results than the 7D??? I've been thinking of that exact same swap, or saving for a 1D4 or a 5D3.

One thing to keep in mind, the 300 will be 480 on the 7D, might be too long a focal length?

Are you using a ff with the 300. Great shot, thats what the 300 is all about, isolation plus super sharp to boot.

I am just joking, I just really want a 300 too! It looks like my 7D is already sold along with my old 70-300 so that takes care of the Mark III bill. The next purchase will be something shorter and wider though.

After playing with some borrowed 1DS3 files I think it would be far more useful than my 300. The additional bokeh from the full frame sensor is pretty amazing in addition to the massive file size for printing/graphic layouts. Also having a bum wing shooting my 300 late into the day has become very difficult. A monopod helps but isn't a legitimate fix. \

BDW-Go with a 17-40. You will love it on your new 1D3.

No FF for me all 1.3 crop. Thanks for the shout out.

Sorry to hear about your arm....DO NOT SELL THE 300 lol, the 300 on a full frame is pure magic, nothing like it, distracting backgrounds GONE with that setup. Plus it you are shooting with a 1.3 or so, you will really miss the reach once to get a ff.

I got a couple better models today, how do these look on your end?

NICE! There is a difference for sure from the 7D. It seems to pick up the dark areas better.

Mataz426- My hurt shoulder is livable with a 1D3/70-200 combo but not with a 300. Honestly I will give up my 300mm f2.8 and one of my 1D3's to get a 1DS3, pay for my 70-200 to upgraded to the version 2 and maybe an AB800. The flexibility having both FPS speed and file size far outweigh my 300mm. It also fits the direction I am starting to go. Imagine your favorite picture printed the size of a wall or as a fathead that is razor sharp and just plain crisp. This is not likely possible with a 1D3, it could happen but you would have to be super lucky.

I think they look great as well. Do you enable the Highlight Alert (Blinkies)?

I must say 82 that is quite the image. The post in the background sucks but that is part of the track.
