No doubt. I know the AF would be better than the 7D and 5DII, and the IQ is excellent.


If you were a full time pro sportsphotographer or something in that trend, the difference in AF would be noticeable. But is it really worth the money. I honestly doubt it. I still don't think the 5D2 holds me back when shooting sports.

I just rented the 400mm f2.8L IS for the weekend and I can tell you this. A lens of this calibre will do more for you than a camerabody "upgrade". The image quality, AF and sharpness of the lens I rented are simply insane. They make the 100-400 feel like a nifty-fifty. It is quite a big thing to take on your bicycle though :O


I personally feel that the only reason for me to buy a super expensive 1D IV or 1Ds Iv would be if I had all the super tele's already
