The pictures of me were taken with a Canon 7D and a Canon 400 5.6 lens. The 400 5.6 is an old lens but I think it is a great lens and competes well with newer designs. The 7D is a good camera except for low light but surprisingly good for night time images. The 7D has the advantage for bird photography of having a crop sensor so a 400mm lens essentially becomes a 640 mm lens and it can shoot 10 frames per second. My daughter has pretty much assumed ownership of that camera and the 400mm lens as well as Avocet. All of the other pictures were taken with a Canon 5D Mark III which I think is the best all around camera in the Canon line. The wide angle pictures in the trees and grass were taken with a Tokina 16-28 f2.8 if fx lens. I don't have a bad thing to say about that lens except it can't take a filter. The kayak and cloud pictures were taken with the Canon 24-105 which is a work horse lens. I like the focal length, the images are sharp but could be sharper if I were to do it over I would probably buy the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DI VC I think it is a sharper lens.
