Hi All,

I am looking for some advice and/or links to old postings in this forum regarding good entry levels digital camera/lens.

Some background. My wife has become interested in nature photography, and birds in particular, in the last year or so. Typically, she will take her photos while hiking or in the boat compared to on a tripod. Up to this point, she has been using a digital point and shoot (Canon 880IS 10MP ELPH). It is clear that the quality of the picture is relatively low, especially for long range photos of birds, etc.

I have no experience with photography but would like to suprise my wife with a digital camera/telephoto lense that would be appropriate for her needs. I would be willing to spend around $500-$1000 for the combo, however any suggestions would be appreciated regardless of the price range.

I imagine that this topic has been discussed more than once on this forum. However, for some reason the search feature is not working on my computer. So, if someoone can post a link to old discussions that would be helpful. Otherwise, any commments on my situation directly would also be helpful. Thanks in advance.
