Hi all. Please can I have the benefit of your opinions. I am currently a Nikon D100 user, with 80-400mm VR lens as my 'bird photo' lens. This set up is fine for many situations, but rather too frequently, I have felt I could have had a longer lens for the more distant birds. As a result I have decided to buy the Canon 500 IS L f4 lens, as I have concluded that it is a better lens than the Nikon equivalent and just as importantly, Canon DSLR bodies are 'quicker', for want of a better expression.
This is where I need your help. I have narrowed the field down, as far as bodies are concerned, to the EOS 20d and the EOS 1D MARK 2 N. I hope to be submitting some of my work for publication / agencies in the future.
Please can you advise me which body you would opt for with this lens, and why. On the one hand, the larger 'magnification factor' of the EOS 20d appeals, but the 1D MARK 2 N has other attributes. Many thanks in advance.
Kevin
