    Thanks guys, Not got to Yangshou yet with the camera butwas there a while back and seen virtually nothing. I have taken some advice given here and looked harder and I am finding some good stuff locally in Guilin. Pictures, I cannot even get them onto flickr, i opened a new account there and it...

    Finally after a lot of searching and heartache, lies, fakes and more lies I finally got my camera and lens. Nikon D7100 and a Tamron 150-600 all new, genuine, boxed at a reasonable price from a local shop. Also got a 64gb card and a mono pod, also an extra battery. Birding here I come ;-)

    Still trying to buy a camera and lens, so many liars, cheats and fakes in China and it would seem no controls, so choosing a seller and paying them is a nightmare. Trying to join the E bay equivalent here and its paying system, joined the site but taken a week to get alipay and still not...

    Yangshou has a few birds but the Chinese have eaten or caught most of them, it is improving slightly here. I am sure there are many great places here but I have not researched where they are yet. My comments were a generalisation as here unlike other places I have been, bird sightings and songs...

    I can buy a Tamron 150-600 and a Nikon D7100 here in China for 1,440 UK pounds new, OE not copies, at that price it would seem crazy to buy used? Would need to buy an sd card and a tripod ontop, think it's a good deal don't you?

    Thanks Paulst, I will look for a lens first then a camera, hopefully a nice 150-600 Nikon fit will come up, then I can get a d7100. I think from what has been said here and the information /I can find online either option would surpass my skill level, so either would be great. My goal is to have...

    Thanks, that is great info, just what I need. I have done some research and to my suprise the Canon 7d beats the Nikon d300 in every test I have read, mainly on clarity of the picture at a higher iso range, all double dutch to me sadly.The 150-600 sounds ideal and again only yesterday briefly...

    Thanks, I went to a nikon p600 bridge and it was ok, struggled with the focus often, but was good enough for now. Sadly some kind chinese person, climbed 9 floors of a building on the outside mind you, broke in through a window and stole my new camera and 500 pounds in cash. Happy days, hence...

    If you had about 1,000 pounds uk to spend on a lens what would you buy. it will be used for birding and distance is a main goal.My last lens was a sigma 50-500. Would a named, ie nikon or canon lens like a 400 be better? What reasonable camera body would you use? not expensive top of the range...
