    This flight image has the same camera settings as my previous post....the 7D MKII has a focusing system that is on par with the 1DX in my opinion. It really does a fabulous job of locking onto birds in flight.

    Joel, don't be saying such things! That could get expensive so far I am happy with my 6D and 7DI. AWESOME shots by the way!

    I understand ... I ordered the 7DMKII with thoughts of probably returning it and saving for a 5Ds but I think I'm gonna keep it. It's light, easy to handle and is a stellar performer although it can't compare to the 1Dx in low light. Also for birds the 1.6 crop factor really helps to get a lot of pixels on the subject. Here is another example:

    7DMKII
    300mm f/2.8L + 1.4 TC
    AV mode with +2 stops EC (and it was still underexposed)
    ISO 400
    f/6.3
    1/2000
