Grant,
A lens in the 400mm range I can recommend (I have one) for nature and
sports photography is the excellent (but heavy) 100-400/4.5-5.6L IS Lens.
I use mine on my Elan 7e body, and wouldn't switch for any other lens.
If you buy a cheap lens, you will soon regret it, then will want to sell it
and buy a better one. I suggest you save and get a good lens.
Don't forget that it's the lens that makes the picture's sharpness and
contrast, not the camera body. Get a good one, and use the supplied lens hood.
