good to know, I think the reach on the 100-400 is pretty good, I just dream of options

but i won't really be able to explore those without the AF (yes i could manual focus, but fear of the missed opportunities due to clumsyness)

And this is why we go big megapixels, we can digitally zoom by cropping

thanks for the info guys. You've confirmed my suspisions.
