But that is because you are doing everything possible with regard to lens support and other technique to reduce camera shake to an absolute minimum, and, even then, (with animals/birds) you have to have some luck on your side with regard to the subject not moving at all. On the other hand, if you think that you are going to shoot with a long lens, no IS, hand held, etc. and not see the effects of camera shake at slow shutter speeds, you are really going to really have to have luck on your side.

Les, I think there\'s no debate on the fact that the effect of camera shake (due to hand holding and/or mirror slap) is more apparent with smaller pixels when viewing at the pixel level. Still, there are countermeasures to mitigate this; e.g. using a tripod/bean bag, IS, mirror up, remote switch, shooting in low to zero wind, etc. If some of such countermeasures are possible/available, and the subject is static, the 7D need not be shot at very fast shutter speeds.
