The 7D would be \"much better\" for wildlife photography than your 40D.
That is my reasoning...now I just need to be convinced as Darwin\'s review throw a BIG doubt as I do not know what did he do \"wrong\" to reach such a result?
I do remember that when I did upgrade from Rebel to 40D, I found my 40D file softer (at that time I was not using a tripod). I end up thinking that the larger sensor photosites are less sensible to micro vibration...Maybe the 18Mpix is more \"vulnerable\" in tiny vibration...In the 10Mpix sensor the details stay in the photosite whereas for the 18 due to the density it goes to another site and start to blur everything??
Check out the main 7D thread sticky at the top of this forum. Much has been written about some of these caveats and things to become disciplined about with respect to the new 18mp crop sensor.
It\'s still very much a new camera, so the complete understanding of its capabilities is a work in progress.
I would still recommend the 5D2 over the 7D if landscape photography is your primary avocation. You\'d have more lens choices available to you on the wide end of shooting, and the IQ and ability to make very large prints is probably slightly better with the 5D2. But it\'s also more expensive, and you could use the $1K left over to buy that 10-22mm EF-S mount lens.
