Sure, cropping from 45MP goes a long way, until your subject is even farther away!

I know the EF 70-200/2.8 is heavy. Maybe a lens strategy change may be effective. Perhaps one of the 70-200/4 L lenses with one of the EF 300/4 L lenses?

I can tell you that once you start filling the frame of a 45MP camera, you won't want to go back. The detail is incredible!

not really, 45MP is deceiving - at some point you have to convert your RAW file to jpeg, which will more likely be about 23MB (approx. due to jpeg compression algorithm) and it depends on your cropping, pretty soon your file may approach 10-14MB. still good but nothing like imaginary 45mp.
