In the right hands even ancient cameras can produce results equaling current super duper cameras. Give me solid construction, weatherproofing and proper controls over plastic toy cameras any day. To the OP get a D300S or better still a D700, if you are only posting to the web or printing small you do not need heaps of mega pixels. So what's this taken with? D300? Z7? D850? Answer below. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IHeBOrstdFo/VK7Ss7FZEFI/AAAAAAAABk4/1-QzGJm-190/s1600/Cardinal%2B1.jpg It was taken with an 8MP D70s.

Sandy, I still shoot with a 36 year old Hasselblad and I love the look it produces. I can show you D300 images that are as good for reproduction on the web or 8x10 equal to anything current. As for Spares, there is that, batteries will not be an issue or memory.

The D300 is one of the most successful camera's Nikon ever made. For bird photography it was awesome.

Warblers like moving water. Yellow-rumped Warbler also know as a Myrtle Warbler or sometimes Butterbutt because of it bright yellow rump. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h5tPX2Yqc6Y/VUuVGl5aKwI/AAAAAAAACPU/B5Xw8dTeXl8/s1600/Yellow-rumped%2BWarbler%2B3.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QSXQOTgw04I/VUv4O6cxjLI/AAAAAAAACP8/M-eXS6SwhFo/s1600/Yellow-rumped%2BWarbler%2B7.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T2XUjMTN2Kk/VUuVC5PAIyI/AAAAAAAACPA/XHlHHsRuDMk/s1600/Yellow-rumped%2BWarbler%2B6.jpg

I'm going to disagree with just about everybody. The D300 was an awesome camera in it's day, ISO performance and AF was heaps better than the D200 but not as good as todays camera's. Some of my best bird shots were taken with the D300. The construction of the D300 is solid unlike some of the modern cheaper camera's. The D300s is a step up and if you can get one of those as it will do video as well. If you want a full frame version the D700 is almost identical and is a marvelous camera.

You got that right Shun. The males are pretty easy to identify, the females not so much. Blackburnian Warbler Nashville Warbler Prothonotary Warbler

Big birds are easy. Try Warblers for a challenge.:rolleyes:
