Bird watchers what digital camera equipment do you recommend for a beginning birder?
I see you taking pics of eagles in fields. What kind of camers and lenses have you?
There are some excellent reasonably priced digital zoom cameras on the market now. Really good ones. I am a Canon fan myself. It is my opinion that you want a camera with a view finder. The problem with cameras that do not have a view finder is that the view screen gets washed out in bright sun light and you can't see squat. The really serious photo birders use an SLR with a very expensive telephoto lens but it is not absolutely required to get decent photos.
There are two Canon cameras that you might consider that are not SLRs.
1. PowerShot SX10 about $325 on the internet. It has a 20x zoom lens to 560mm.
2. PowerShot SX1 is a new camera. It may not be available yet. It is very similar to the SX10 but has a different image senor that is faster.
Nikon makes some nice cameras also. Coolpix P80 has a 18x zoom lens to 486mm. It does take special rechargable batteries whereas the Canon takes regular AA batteries. It costs about the same.
