I'm not up on their models, but might your new unit be a full frame model? If so, one is not getting a multiplier effect with his lenses.

Cookie has several Canons, and I know one is a full frame unit. I think the other two are a bit older and have about a 1.6 multiplier effect due to their smaller sensors. I.e. A 100 mm lens will produce images equivalent to a 160 mm lens on a full frame model. A 100-400 zoom is the equivalent of a 160 to 640 mm on a crop unit. A 500 mm on the same body will generate images equivalent to an 800 mm on a full frame. One will have to move in closer with a full frame to get images equivalent to those he secured with his crop sensor.

Full frames units are favored by those doing landscapes and images that might be blown to huge proportions due to their higher pixel count. Those wanting to reach out with their lenses at smaller targets favor the units with smaller sensors.

Edited: Just did a little surfing. Your newer unit has a full frame sensor.
