Oh, and most of these were shot with the new 7D Mark 2 and my trusty old 5D3.

Curious to see what you think of the new 7D. When you get a chance give us a rundown. Always look forward to your pics. Thanks for posting.

  This 7D2 with the new 100-400 L II is going to be a GREAT backpacking wildlife package.  Can't wait! 

 OMG, who would have ever thought those words would come out of Popes mouth.

 Yeah yeah, I know you said "new" but that's still pretty funny, are you sure you were not referring to the Canon 200-400?

The new 100-400 is supposed to be really sharp according to MTF charts.  It also has real 4 stop IS unlike the archaic crap in the old one.  They did away with the push pull design also.  The 200-400 would be nice but I can't carry all big lenses.  I need a light backpack lens and the new 100-400 is much much better than the old one.  Likewise, the new 7D is better than the old making it useful.

Awesome pics!

Did I miss anything?  I tried it out at ISO 1600 a few times but haven't processed any of those images so I can't tell you if you can get away with ISO 1600.  I could on the 5D3 so we'll see...

I'd like to hear how it does at higher ISOs.

Do the AF points illuminate black like the Mark I? Or are they finally red? I couldn't stand that on the Mark I.

Just curious, how far away were you and with what lens did you take those shots? 

I'm looking at getting my first DSLR.  I'm thinking about getting a cheap used cannon like the T3 but splurging on maybe two good lenses or getting a used original 5D and getting some cheaper lenses.

I'm leaning towards getting two good lenses, that way I can upgrade to a full-frame camera later. 

And thanks a bunch for the write-up you did a while back on Canon Lenses!  It's been quite useful!
