Digital SLR for bird photography

["Bob Cook" <>]

Thanks to you all!!

Much appreciated, excellent information has been forthcoming. And the issues
I should consider.

It seems that for my needs / desires (budget) the way to go is with the one
generation ago body, i.e. Canon EOS40D or Nikon D80 together with the
100-400 IS or 80-400 VR lens.  Still likely to be just over the $3000 and
without any spare battery, filter, tele-converter, bag, etc.  

Comments I have seen on the Nikon 80-400 VR lens is that it is slow to
focus.  Many user reviews have mentioned this.  Is this the same with the
Canon 100-400 IS?  Any experience?

Regards
Bob Cook
