3. The 6D's buffer *sucks* compared to the 7D's. I think "6D" comes from the number of times I said DAMN! while waiting for the buffer to clear.
4. The 6D's AI Servo seems plenty accurate for me. It even held focus through branches for a short distance. (See below.)
5. The 400mm f5.6 is one sharp lens. Check out the 100% crop below.

Even with the +EV, I'd raise the Shadows some more in post, then work Micro Contrast a little to bring out feather graduations.
