Thanx Pixie. It is somewhat ironic that I get the best IQ out of 7D in shots with relative proximity to target (assuming low and moderate ISO values). The depth of detail that 7D generates in those conditions is peerless. However, I haven\'t had much success with it on long range shots even at low ISO values. The primary problem was inconsistent and sloppy AF, such as missing a bird and focusing on a branch behind it. That trend was so clear cut, that I had to drop 7D from long range shooting applications altogether.
I have seen that as well, in AI Servo, the 7D, with certain lenses, is \"twitchy\" for a lack of a better term. What AF mode would you be using in those cases, and I would assume you would have been in Servo for those? I am wondering if spot AF would work better in those cases, if you weren\'t using it.
Also, in regards to the others that want this thread locked or deleted, I am confused on why? The beauty of an internet forum is that you can just unsubscribe to a thread or ignore it, if you don\'t like it or agree with it. As long as everyone remains civil in their replies, however redundant, then why not just leave it to run its course? Like well over 1M other posts over the years, this will simply drop off the radar over time.
