Some really nice shots there. Seems to be no shortage of wildlife in
your area.

I'm still trying to decide what camera to upgrade to.
I'd rather get something smaller like a mirrorless type, but may have
to go to a full DSLR.
At this point I'm waiting to see the reviews on Canon's new
SL1...which is supposed to be a three quarter sized SLR.
All the other smaller Canon cameras such as the new M and the G1 X
have slow autofocus...not the best for fast moving subjects.

You might think of something like a used Nikon D200 from ebay or
craigslist, or even some local
camera shops.

My son started with a Nikon D70. In fact, it's the one I bought from
Harry three or four years ago. Still works fine. But then he sorta
"acquired" my wife's D200 and a bunch of lenses that she had for it.
He uses it almost exclusively now and is still learning about it.

For kicks I had purchased a used Sony NEX-5N with several lenses on
eBay. Of course, he discovered that one too and uses it
occasionally.
It included a macro lens that is really very good. Here's a link to
some pictures he took using it. Scroll down and he keeps getting
closer and closer to the dollar bill:

I was in error. The camera he "acquired" from my wife is her Nikon
D300 ... not a D200.



Check with him and see if he's interested in this:

Mine has been used very little, and I'd part with it for $1000.
