    Canon 7D

    Jaff, Thank you so much for finding those images take with a 70-300mm lens. I understand that when possible to buy L glass it should be bought without a second thought. I have read the review and I feel that this lens as a start off lens together with a 7d will do the job for me for now...

    Canon 7D

    You are right Keith, I was not thinking about that lens the 70-300mm that I was thinking about was this one http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/397663-USA/Canon_0345B002_EF_70_300mm_f_4_5_6_IS.html

    Canon 7D

    Jaff, thanks for your comments, it looks like I will have to do a little bit more saving and go for the 7d together with the 100-400mm canon lens.

    Canon 7D

    As ever I thank you all, I have to say that the 70-300mm will only be a stop gap to be honest. I really just want to get on the road with a 7D and a lens and not pay out an absolute fortune to begin with. I hope you all can appreciate this as I have only been doing the whole birding thing since...

    Canon 7D

    Thank you for your response above. I really like the 7d and that is the camera I am buying, what makes the 7d + the 70-300mm a bad combination given the 7d really out shines the 40d? Regards Stephen

    Canon 7D

    Hi All, Having looked at my finances it looks like the lens I can currently afford to go along with the canon 7d is a Canon 70-300mm lens. Is the Canon 7d together with a 70-300mm lens a good start for someone like me who is about to buy their first DSLR and lens? Regards Stephen

    Canon 7D

    Good Afternoon All, I am looking to buy a new DSLR. Would now be a good time to buy a Canon 7D or should I wait to see what Canon are about to offer in 2012? Thank you for your time and responses. Stephen
