SI VIVES EN ESPAÑA Y TE APASIONAN LAS AVES:
Si vives en España y te apasionan las aves, por favor, ¡ayúdanos a crear un mejor "fórum" ornitológico! Aquí en Andalucia Bird Society queremos y esperamos hacer de nuestro foro un recurso valioso, y tú puedes hacer una gran contribución: únete a nosotros y házte uno de nuestros primeros miembros castellano-parlantes.

Hasta la fecha, la casi totalidad de la gente adscrita a nuestra sociedad es no-nativa y, mientras apreciamos sus inestimables aportaciones, nos encantaría que la gente española amante de las aves formara también parte de nuestro grupo.

Queremos que personas que tienen el castellano como lengua materna escriban sus notícias y/o historias en "la lengua de Cervantes", y nos parecería maravilloso poder intercambiar opiniones, información, etc , con la gente del país. Somos muy conscientes también de que tú puedes tener notícias que no nos han llegado a nosotros y, además, de que podrías estar mejor informado que nosotros sobre ciertos temas de conservación. Así pues, por favor, ¡únete a nosotros y participa!

Se puede ver el foro siguiendo el enlace escrito abajo. ¡Muchas gracias!

I am about to upgrade from my Panasonic FZ50 to either a Canon or Nikon DSLR.  My present thinking with a £2000 budget is to go for Canon.  I need to choose between the 40D and 50D and then add a lens.  Thinking the choice might be a 100-400 mm or straight 400 f5.6.

For all you "experts" out there, please send your suggestions and/or recommendations.  All will be gratefully received.

Hi Bob,

The choice between Canon and Nikon is a very important one, because it ties you for long to the one of your choice. Not because of that one camera you buy, but chosing for the range of lenses is the most important. I am a canon user and have upgraded my camera several times already, but I am still working with the same set of lenses.
I personally have the 100-400 mm lens of Canon. It is a great lens, with a small disadvantage specially in very dusty circumstances. The way you have to zoom works a bit as a pump and I had really dust problems with my camera. This was after a visit to India and having used the camera in extremely dusty conditions. It all depends on what you are going to do. Only photography of birds or much more ...

Thanks Pieter for your advice and help.

I have now ordered a Canon EOS D50 with 17-85mm lens plus
1)  100-4000mm lens
2)  1.4 Extender

So, let's hope I see a marked improvement in my photos!

Meanwhile, photos taken with my present panasonic Lumex FZ50, usualy with a 1.7 tele-converter, can be seen on my blog at:  http://birdingaxarquia.blogspot.com

Best wishes
