    Canon 400D/XTI upgrade

    I`ve been using my 400D/XTI pared with a 400L 5,6 for a couple of years now and pleased with it. Would you upgrade to a XSI/450D, to a 500D/T1i or just keep the 400D until it dies? Upgrading implies buying new media storage (no more CF) and new spare batteries. Is it worthy? Any...

    TV 60 vs Tak FS60

    Bob D quoted: The image of the AT 66 is better than my Fieldscope (use same Nikon eyepieces on both scopes) Also, the image of the AT66 is good enough that I've considered selling my Swarovski ATS 80 mm HD as I'm now birding less frequently. Would you pls tell me the way you use your Nikon...

    Which type of field guide would you prefer?

    It would be nice to have a "what fieldmarks to look for" divided by genera or family. This would help beginners or foreigner birders to avoid taking notes like "Brownish woodcreeper with long bill and rigid tail". When they then go to the fieldguide, once the bird is already gone, they notice...
