Fantastic! I'm glad to finally know that I'm not the only one trying to video birds. I do agree with ambient sound being the best option, what I tend to do is slow down the video half. I'd be happy alter to the ambient sound, but I have a lot of bird videos, over 60 species to be precise! I...

Hi guys, I'm trying to make a compilation of wildlife videos, mainly consisting of birds and I have two video footage I would like some feedback on as to whether they are any good, exposed correctly and etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyNFDsmoGS8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv0JJ6O34-8...

I have a friend in Ontinyent, not sure if thats anywhere near your place and he talks about a Spanish Imperial Eagle, so keep your eyes open and maybe you'll get a few. http://www.lincsbirdclub.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=13238 This link is on a bird club I visit often and one of the...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiM1gKpeTBM Crit welcome guys. I'm trying to make a series of video clips with as many different species of bird possible as well as try to get photos of them as well. So far I have 20 clips of 18 different bird species, which are... Blue Tit, Goldeneye...

Ahh, that cleared a lot of things up, cheers guys. I will be buying one in a months time once I get the cash for it.

I've seen this on the Canon website and noticed a price increase up to £1,940.00. Why the big increase as I am aware these lens are about £1,200? I'm wondering if its something to do with the fact that they are now compatible with the teleconverters.

I think the 60d has a faster shutter speed available, which I believe is 1/8000 and also a higher ISO capability. Thats all I know there is different other than the things you have already mentioned.

Awesome, happy with the responses on here, Sigma 150-500mm or the Canon 100-400mm L series. I would be spending most of the time with the lens walking round taking photos of the birds mainly, with the Canon L Lens, would I still be able to use a teleconverter and retain autofocus? Might be...

I would, but I dont have the funds for this right now. I'm making a decision now ready to make the purchase around February time when I have earned a bit of money to pay for the lens. Thanks for alerting me, but I think I'll have to give it a miss, unless its still there in February.

Hi all, I'm moving on from the Sony A200, which has been a great servant for my beginner years of Photography and now making a switch to Canon. After research and looking at my budget and other things. I've opted for a Canon EOS 550D as the movie facility appealed to me as well, the EOS 7D...

Thanks for the welcome Secret Santa... giving what your name suggests, I'm asking for a Canon EOS 7D and a 800mm lens for Christmas, thank you! ;):D
