I've certainly seen now that all cameras are not created equal

Me, too!! Me, too!!! I am still blown away that we were shooting at 6400 iso with such minimal noise.
And all Canon zoom lenses are not created equal either.

LOL, I don't quite feel that way about my 100-400. I just may have to have more than one to love someday.

Janice, I am curious. Did your experience with the 100-400 equip you to zoom in while locked in focus without losing focus?
I rarely ever use my 70-300 as it doesn't have the clarity/success ratio of my other lenses. I am using it to practice now though

Not really because that is not normally how I shoot. I have shot bike races which is my closest comparison and I always focused based on the subject being there when I pushed the trigger and everything else like birds on a branch are not moving. I would expect my zoom to be painfully slow without an added battery grip but have not tested it.
