7D vs 5D Mark II for wildlife advice wanted

[Daniel Browning]

Perhaps Canon intentionally slows the AF slightly for greater accuracy due to the longer apparent focal length?

Makes sense to me.

I dod notice when doing AFMAs that with some lenses (e.g. the 85L), when focusing from MFD to the target (but not the reverse), the 7D would overshoot slightly then come back to focus, whereas the 5DII just went straight there.

I noticed this quite often on the 500mm F4L, it would run past or even what appeared to be in focus then it would fine tune. This is not a bad thing if it gives you a little more accuracy.


The 7D and the 500mm F4L seem to back focus, and I will need to do a micro adjustment. This is something I didn't have to do with the 5D it was dead on.


I did get a few keepers
