Nikon D7000 and wild life shooting - how's the performance?

If someone had experience with shooting birds, wildlife and so on - where speed is important - or sports or any kind of action with the D7000 - since i have expeirence only with D80 i would like to see if D7000 together with exampe 70-300 VR does better shooting on birds and action - because this was the reason of me considering D300 - now when D7000 came out and as everyone says its better - i always have the question - what about wild life shootin'? Cause D300 still has 51 pts and very good sharp performance on any kind of moving bird or whatever - or this already is up to the lens

You can't go wrong with the D7000. The results are up to the person behind the camera.

Its pretty much the lens and using a good tripod… And depending on how large you want your prints… You could always get mirror lenses, they sell for cheap but usually around a 8-11 Fstop so you might need a 200-400 iso in when its cloudy… But i don't own one… Just things i read about… Seen 600-1200mm lens for about 200 dollars

As with any dslr camera the performance is really up to you. The camera is only a tool and responsible for 5% of any good photo. Whether or not you know how to properly operate such a camera to get the best result is the other 95%.

Too many people today seem to believe that the camera does everything for you… Not so, never has been, never will be.
