<p>I want a better body for wildlife photography.<br>

I was thinking about 7D but I heard it's got worse noise levels.<br>

Doesn't Canon offer any perfect body? Like 5D in terms of iso and noise and 7D in terms of AF?<br>

Or maybe 7D is not so bad and worth switching from 50D.<br>

What do you suggest?<br>

Regards,<br>

<p>W T, a quick introduction to sharpening raws using DPP? Just using sliders "sharpness" ?<br>

I am beginner ;) Thanks</p>

<p>It does makes a difference!<br>

I'm uploading all photos.<br>

It appears the photo is sharpest at from 0 to 5.<br>

My eye tells me it's from 1 to 3 but it's really hard to tell the difference.</p>

<p>No need to compare.<br>

The two last photos are taken with tripod aperture 8 or 11 and low iso. Pictures are NOT sharp</p>

<p>Big thanks for all advice! It's very helpful.<br /> Two last photos are taken with tripod and the objects are not so much far away (about 30-40 feet).<br>

I cannot understand this lack of details. I understand this lens has it limits. But please look again at the two last photos, is it really the maximums sharpness for this lens?</p>

<p>So I should send them both?<br>

This focus is the camera problem?<br>

Another thing is that the service is in another city and it can take long time.<br>

And I would be without my lovely camera...</p>

<p>My lens Canon 70-300 takes very unsharp images at 300.<br>

Here are example RAW files taken with tripod<br>

<p>I want to photograph wild animals and I see that's almost impossible with that tens.</p>

<p>Please help.<br>

I definetely must buy 100-400 ! It's an unshakable experience...<br>

Just tell me, do you refer to FF in being not enoough? Many birds are really small and I understand you perfectly but 400 on my 50D would give 640. Dreams, dreams, dreams... I have a cheaper car than all this ;)</p>

<p>Hi,<br>

I'm just buying my first lenses for Canon 50D<br>

I've chosen:</p>

<h1>Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM</h1>

<p>and</p>

<h1>Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM</h1>

<p>is it a good choice?<br>

Regards,<br>

Greg</p>
