I shoot birds with the 5DII AI Serveo all the time and get super sharp shots:

Just a small addition to what you're written: I was taught photography by a local man when I was kid, and I got started with a Russian 'Cosmic 35', fixed lens job. The books he gave me featured the most amazing photos I'd seen, shot largely by people using Leicas and Hasselblads, fixed lenses, no auto-focus etc.
If you know how to do it, you can shoot most subjects with most DSLR cameras/lenses these days, so I would disagree that this camera is better for X, and that lens is better for Y - it's more about how you use it.
