Hi all.
Help! I have spent ages pouring over as much info as I can lay my mitts on and subsequently am now more confused than ever.
I have a 300d with a 100-400 lens. I'm thinking of upgrading the camera and have been looking at the 350D, 20D and the ID MK11 all 8mp, I even looked at the 1DS 11mp. Am I right in thinking that with the latter the focal length on my 100 - 400 would remain at 400max but on the others would be either 1x6 or 1x3.
So for taking pictures of birds would I be better with more pixels to crop or the longer focal length in the 1st place?
