Thanks for the offer but part of the reason for changing was to have lighter equipment.

*Update*

Ok, I've been using the 7D for just over a month and my findings so far are,
    The detail due to the 18mp is good and handy for cropping
    The focus on static subjects is fast and positive. However the focus on moving subjects is hit and miss and the keeper rate compared to a 1D or the Nikons with the 51 point focus system is poor.
    Noise levels are on a par with the D300/D300s but the files will accept noise reduction software better.

As for the Canon 400 f5.6 lens I can't fault it and still can't understand why Nikon don't do one.

Sounds like you have settled in with the new kit and adapted. Don't forget to share your wildlife photos from time to time Iain.

Nice shot, Iain... But don't tell me you are moving to the dark side? Are you?

Seems like such a major change...
