The key to bird photography is fast focus. You don't have time to think, compose, meter and click. Wildlife happens. A 500mm lens with a good digital slr body should do the job. I'd second the Canon DSLR recommendation. Canon bodies have great autofocus capabilities sp. for subjects that are on the move. If you want additional information, i suggest you check out www.kalyanvarma.net. Kalyan is also on Silk, and won the Sanctuary magazine wildlife photographer of the year award.
What would you all recommend for birds?
