I guess it depends on what you are doing with the photo's you take and your
definition of high-quality. If you are printing them, you would have to be
making fairly large prints to notice the difference between even the smallest
digital SLR and 35mm film.
This article on photo.net does some very interesting lens and digital/film
comparisons - http://www.photo.net/learn/optics/digitaloptics
I've been using a Canon 10D and 20D with a Canon 100-400mm IS lens for a few
years. The majority of the photos on http://www.ozbirds.com are use this setup
if you want to see some examples.
I was just sent a link (thanks Fiona - very nice pics) to Jon Thorntons
web page
- http://www.photo.net/photodb/presentation.tcl?presentation_id=311805.
It looks
like he is using a Nikon D2X with an 80-400mm VR lens (and he's patient enough
to use a tripod :)

Quoting John Leonard <>:
I know that this subject has been debated before on Birding-aus, but the
digital camera world is rapidly changing. Can anyone on Birding-aus claim
they are getting high-quality shots of birds with a lower-end of the range
digital SLR and 400 lens set-up?
