I've been a compact digital user for 4 years now. Spent plenty of cash on computer equipment for my video and photo needs. My old 35 EOS film is, well you know where it is!
My boy and I have been into bird watching as of late, and he said it would be cool to take some pictures of the birds. SO, here I am looking for direction! I see that the Nikon D50 gets some good reviews FOR the money. So, unless I read about a Canon that is better AND cheaper, then that might be my camera.
My biggest need is not knowing what lences to get. How much zoom AND how cheap of a lens can I get away with. I'm retired, so the budget is thin, sadly.
400mm lenses for the birds OK?
And if I could also have 1 lens for sports, what would it be?
I'm used to less than perfect compact digital photos, so I'm sure the move to a Digital SLR will be a big improvement.
Thanks all for you help.
