I would go with the camera t2i with a 100 - 400 lens with a 1.5 multiplier. It would still enable the auto focus, and with the sensor giving you an extra 1.6 because it is not a "full frame" sensor. this is the cheapest way to go and give you a more than reasonable 960mm shot. I use the 2x multiplier as well, but auto focus then becomes necessary, but great if you are stable and sitting. When using a lens that is that long, it usually is necessary anyway.
I have done a lot of research today and have almost decided on the Canon ESO 60D with a 100-400mm IS f/4.5-5.6 Telephoto Zoom lens. I am also looking at the 70-300 lens. I'm just wondering are these two lenses about the same when taking a picture at the 50ft. range?
