I've been using a canon t2i and it was the first d slr I've used. We noticed some pictures when trying to use all the frame was cutting off the top of peoples heads and things like that. That's the reason we were thinking of a full frame. I guess it doesn't really matter that much.

That is great! I am really getting into bird photography lately myself. Earlier this year...

One from Cape Charles, VA. Irene passed straight over this community. I hope the Osprey made it OK.

exquisite
with a cropped body you do get a "longer" reach the a full fame body.
From what i've gathered the full frame gets everything you see inn the viewfinder. Some only capture 95%. I guess when taking photos you just have to try to make sure parts you don't want to lose aren't right on the edge.

Nice shots, gentlemen. I've not yet caught the bird bug but insects peak my interest. Not sure what the designation for my camera is, full frame or not, it captures more than what can be seen in the view finder (D3000). John, local pawn shop has a D2X w/18-55 for five bills. Worth taking another look at?
have not read this entire thread... hope this has not been posted
first off if one has the $$$ budget, then by all means go for the high $$$ option of a super nice DSLR by Nikon or Cannon. but if your budget is less, like say $50... here's some great options that produces pictures for web, as good or equal to it's high $$ brethren.
assuming one is shooting for the web, say goal is super clear chainsaw pic's to post on AS.
1. forget about megapixel ... for web shots your resolution doesn't need to exceed what your screen is capable of displaying. VGA is plenty of resolution for most shots.
2. zero in on getting the highest quality lens you can afford. Leica, Zeiss, Nikon, Cannon, Sony all make prime lens.
3. friendly user interface (UI) makes all the difference between a camera getting used vs sitting in the drawer. IMHO Sony makes one of the easiest to use UI of any camera.
4. learn how to use photobucket (free) and Firefox with photobucket uploader add-on (free)
a camera that meets above criteria is an ancient Sony Cybershot DSC-P73 with 4.1 meg.
keep an eye out on craigslist about $30, some Sony Cybershots (DSC-P200 7.2 meg) comes with Zeiss lens and pop up on CL for $75 or less.
Pansonic Lumix came with the fabulous Leica lens. DMC FZ20 can be found for low $$$
naturally your topic means a lot too... here's very low hours Stihl 07S with paint still intact on drum. both pic's were taken at 600x800 VGA resolution with a cheap ($30) Sony DSC P-73

If the body is in good condition that would be a good deal. I gave $1500 for mine, body only.
little possum
Crash and Burn
Ill check tommorowThe L110 is a nice camera. You should be able to get great shots with it. Is your image size set to 12M? Is your ISO set to 400 or lower? If you are shooting in low light do you have the VR turned on? We'll help you get it dialed in...
