Then take it again with the 5DmkII form the same spot. Crop the image from 5DII to get the same frame and resize them to view at the same size. Post them in a answer. I don't buy the story about crop camera advantage until I see such a comparison. Because as Davy say, the FF will render a clearer picture with the pixels it has to work with. | |

But also, I don't think the sensor is as inferior to the 5D II as you say. I have both and use the 5D most of the time and the 7D for wildlife/sports. | |

This answer is getting downvotes. It's hard to guess whether people just think you're wrong, or if they're overwhelmed by the wall of text.
