Now, this is a peculiar coincidence which must not go by untapped: Scanning my backlog of link tips, I stopped at the pages Markus Jais has made detailing the options of camera bodies and lenses out there suited for bird photography. Admittedly, I had bookmarked his page over a year ago, and came back to it only today – just to find that he has updated the page to include all new Canon and Nikon camera bodies just yesterday! Same thought, different mind.
As I remember my months-long investigations and head scratching before deciding for the Sigma 100-300 f/4, I can only recommend to surf over to his page and have a look at his article on body selection, and the one on lens selection. I can agree with most of his conclusions, except maybe that you should also consider a Sony Alpha 700, which has the image stabilizer in the body stabilizing any of the long lenses.
Markus is an active member over at the Bird Photographers Net forums, which is certainly where I met him. Oh, and I just see he is living close to Munich as well!
