I'll take exception to the "myth" that you don't need a high frames per second rate to shoot wildlife. Yes, you may get lucky with the right timing with a slow camera to catch a peak action shot, but that's akin to saying you don't need a long telephoto lens either because maybe you will get lucky by getting close enough to the wildlife to fill the frame.

I've gotten some great wildlife photographs without any of those things except a 150-500mm lens and a tripod. Don't think you can't do a good job without spending a fortune on gear.
