Currently I have chosen to make use of Canon EOS 7D along with CANON EF 500MM F/4L IS II USM LENS . But not sure if this is the best body that suits with this . This is the retailers specification ( http://www.smifu.com/canon-ef-500mm-f4-usm-ii.html ) given about this lens. Can anyone suggest regards the SLR Body to be used along with this lens, also a advice or suggestion regards to photography using this lens are welcome.

it's old and a 7D II will probably appear the second your return period expires. I would probably match this lens to no less than a 5D3. Are you buying the 7D used?

The 5DIII is a terrific camera, but that doesn't make the 7D obsolete.  I get great shots with the 7D and first version of the 500 and the 7D.
