Megapixels is important and a decent body, but in almost all cases it is the Lens. Canon’s 70-300 series of lens is OK but unless you get the L version of the lens you will probably be disappointed. I have used my Canon 70-200mmm f/2.8 L lens with a matching 1.4 & 2x converter and it was much better than the 70-300 4-5.6. Sigma makes great long lens zooms if you can find them cheap otherwise invest in a good name brand long lens over 300mm</p></blockquote><p></p>
