Re: Best camera for wildlife/insect/nature?

I think a Canon 1D mk3 is the "best" camera for wildlife....a couple of grand for one of those. A long lens for birds and other big wildlife...about five grand each for the (really) good Canon ones! You could spend another grand on a lens for landscapes and again on a macro lens for insects.
Very nearly true ....
... a Canon 5D (£1200) and a plastic bag (to keep the rain out) will be very nearly as good as a 1D mk 3 for this purpose. A reasonable macro lens for a beginner (rather than a super-specialist like daft_biker) will run to around £300. There, I've saved you £1.5K already!
