I need something for taking things like in flight birds,and long range shots of many of the wild birds around. Also for faster action shots. Mountain to city zooms.things like that. I also would like a lens that will be good for family portraits and different indoor set ups.I'm figuring the body will be around $1600 then one lens around 1600.The other I would not want to spend much more than 500. Will need some for a better flash unit too.My older sun flash is ok,but I could use something higher quality. Perhaps next year a macro lens that I heard has the flash in a ring inside. But for now I want a set up for nature landscapes. I have that in older 35 mm gear.Canon AT1 and a few lenses and filters,butdigital is how I want to stay now.
