I went though this sort of camera decision process 25 years ago when I was unmarried and my money could be spent like water on cameras and equipment. I bout a "State of the art" Nikon (analog) SLR with long and longer lenses and struggled with the questions of those days (no autofocus SLR then). In the end it hardly matters IMO. Just get the best camera you can afford. Differences such as these cease to matter soon I bumped into some serious aviation photography buffs last Aero India. A couple of them are friends and they are "known names" in aviation photography - Simon Watson and Phil Camp. But the person who took the cake was Kedar Karmarkar who covered the Indian Air Force's visit to the US for the "Red Flag" exercises and Aero India 2009. He had a US$ 5000 lens which could zoom up to 400mm. i will never reach that level no matter what - not in this lifetime anyway. Some of Kedar's pic from Red Flag and Aero India are linked below: http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/media/RedFlag08-02/ http://bharat-rakshak.com/media/AeroIndia2009/AI09-Kedar/ shiv
