Canon T3i is a popular starter (actually a GOOD camera) to start with. You can
get these at good prices by watching the ads from the diff big boxes, Best Buy,
Wally World, Target, Office Depot.
For birding minimum lense would be the 70-300 IS Telphoto, this is not a high
end lense but good to start out with. The IS is the important part of the whole
thing. After this you can start using bigger lenses, by renting from Lens
Rentals.com for trips and special occasions. Then if you elect to carry a huge
camera & lense the skies the limit.
The right camera and camera adapter fit to the scope for digiscoping is the
best for those reallllly long distance shots. But finding that right camera is
the hard part I have to agree.

Subject: [TN-Bird] Assistance with Camera for Bird Photography
Hi folks,
I am looking for a recommendation on a camera setup so I can document and share
photos of birds I see and want to share with various groups. My point and shoot
through a scope is just not what is needed. So without a whole lot of
complicated recommendations, can any of you recommend a good starter set up,
perhaps that I can build on later? I appreciate your help. You can respond to
my personal email. Peace
