• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

Hi All, I have the venerable 40D. My longest lens is a 200 2.8L version 1. I sometimes shoot planes from a distance and often wish for more focal length and end up cropping fairly heavily. I've been considering the 70-300L for some time in order to get "closer" to my target. But now I'm thinking that the 70D with twice the megapixel count might allow me top crop more and therefore give me better IQ.

Which would be the better option:

70D with twice as many pix on target,

OR

70-300L with greater focal length
