I have been working on older shots I took with my D1x Nikon before I sold it in my move to all Canon. The D1x may have been only 6MP and a weird 6MP at that, however it really could stop the action. You should get a good flash sync all the way up to 1/500. Canon can get to 1/250 and then there are some games you can play to go higher. I prefer to shoot hummingbirds in the late afternoon or evening with a flash. The light from the flash just give the feathers an added amount of pop. If you hang around a feeder for a while, they will get used to you and allow you to get in pretty close. The lens I was using was the older version of the 80-400 VR lens.
