Hi Craig-thanks,two 7d's-what on earth does a person do with two of the same model!,I take you liked the first one so much you bought another!

Really,if I get a 7d,i would be using purely for birding -no astro use at all,I would plan to keep the 400L as much as possible.

I would be operating 400 iso most of the time,my default setting is AV mode F 8,iso 400,going up to 800iso for birds in dull light.

How much better is the 7D at those iso's over the 50D?? that is my main question.My findings so far lead me to conclude that I'll stick with the 50D as there would not be a huge gain from going to 7D.
