5D is full frame — so you can do a serious crop and STILL have the resolution of APS-C. This was not too much of a crop from the area that would have been covered had a shot the 400mm on the 7D instead. It's been my experience that the 5D cropped to match the 7D sensor is every bit as good an image as the uncropped 7D rendering.
In other words, I can crop my 400mm to approximately 620mm with no sacrifice compared to an APS-C camera, though I would do better yet if I could mount an actual, 600mm lens :-)
And it's a VERY good lens, that 100-400mm, very sharp and clean. |

| Great processing. I could never get a shot so far away look this sharp. I thought that this was a fake bird placed in a tree then shot. Superb |

eta: corrected a typo (as you know by now, I can't type :)). Also wanted to add that it is a terrific shot. Is this your first submission with 100-400mm? Not a bad start!

Yeah, but NOW I got a 400mm :-) My second bird ribbon, too... I can't believe it...
