I use a D70 which I have had for a few years now, for the general photography I do it is more than adequate and when I combine it with my 170-500 lens it makes an excellent job of photographing birds in the garden. On birding trips I do find that carrying all the gear, binoculars, scope and tripod, camera bag, tripod, and lenses too much and inevitably the camera gets left behind, I think seeing the birds is the prime aim, not photographing them but there have been ocassions when I wish I had the camera with me. I am hoping that the acquisition of a Nikon FSA-L1 will go some way to solving that problem, it will allow me to connect the camera to the scope, and it should give me an 800mm lens!
