I am going to be in the market soon for a SLR suitable for birding photography; I am considering buying a Canon ELAN-7 but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for models within the same class or price range. I do not want to go digital (yet), partly because I do not have the money and partly because I think film is still a worthy medium. Also, the less money spent on the body, the more that can be spent on lenses (until the cost of film and development catch up).
Another question I have is, what kind of specs should I look for? i.e. how fast should AF speeds be, what is a good drive mode speed, etc? Thanks!!
One last question - can anyone recommend a good birding forum? I've tried birdforum.net - it looks like its primarily a UK based site, and consequently, most of the classifieds are based in the UK. Thanks!1
