I'm Getting Antsy

For a number of years now I've been using a Canon 7D ll for my bird photography with a Canon 400 5.6 (I would consider popping for much more expensive glass if it met one criteria: as light or lighter than my current lens but not available to my knowledge.) I was delighted by the announcement of Canon's new duo and thought well lets go, lighter weight and higher pixel count. But then I looked around on some forums and was told no, not a good idea. Wait for a Canon 7D lll. The new duo don't have the same or better focusing ability as the 7D ll. Any thoughts on this?

To me, what counts the most, to justify the camera is lightweight long-reach telephoto lenses!

Yes, the pro bodies, DSLR or mirrorless provide more advanced AF, but the 7DII is already stellar.

Otherwise your camera is perfect!
