Advice on which camera to buy for nature photography? I want to purchase a new digital camera for my photography. I am looking for a more amateur/professional camera for nature photography. I need one that can do the following, preferably: One that takes very high res images. One with a good/fast zoom since I take a lot of close-up pictures of very small things and landscapes you cannot get real close too. Something that can take a little movement. Be a small tremor from me, or movement from the subject. Would prefer a view finder then a screen, but not a must. Something that can take a little moisture and some shaking. I hike a lot for photography, so it could get bumpy. I am also in the south, so the humidity is very high here all year round. I am not going to take it out in a rainstorm (it would be nice if I could), but a little moisture is going to be inevitable. I am looking to spend around $350-$500 on the camera. Anyone know of a model that is good for this? Any personal experiences with it? Any sample photos? Help?

I want to enter in an OFFICIAL nature photography contest? Does any one know of any OFFICIAL nature photography contests??? I want my photos to be safe.

However I'm a little afraid of putting my favorite photos on the internet, I know they are not amazing but, I wouldn't want someone else to have my pictures, unless i sold it to them(if they are good enough to sell).

What is the best digital camera for nature (beach and redwood) photography? The primary use would be for nature photographs (beach and redwoods) and the occasional pictures of friends (red eye bad). I want a point-and-shoot for portability and because of money restrictions. I have about $250, but could stretch it too 400 if the camera is significantly worth it. The size/shape of the camera isn't as important as the quality of the pictures, but I do like the square no bulges of some of these point-and-clicks. I had a canon S500 which I was happy with, but it was stolen. Any suggestions or tips? Should I get a used S500 again from Ebay? Or is there something way better out there for me? I was also looking at new Kodaks? Help?

Can I sell my nature photography? and how/where? I've been trying for the past several years to sell prints (framed and unframed) of my nature photos ( http://acluckhardt.deviantart.com/gallery/ ) but haven't had much success.

If you have a minute, please take a look at some of those samples and let me know if such a plan is even possible... where should I sell? Eventhough I don't have experience with portraits, should I plan to start taking local outdoor portraits? Thanks!

How to copyright photography to sell on ebay? I absolutely love to take nature photography. I feel like my work is good enough to sell, and I would like to give it a try on ebay. I don't want anyone to steal my images from there though so I am wondering what the best way is to copyright my material. I've seen people put a word over the image so people won't want to try to take the image off the site to use as their own. Also, If someone does buy one of my pics, how do I copyright the actual photograph?

SLR camera and lense for nature & wildlife photography...? I'm looking for a serious amateur/professional camera for nature landscapes. I also want to do a little wildlife photography, but mainly landscapes. Do I need two different lenses for this? I don't want to get two different lenses, but from all that I've read, these two types of photography require very different lenses. Is there a lense I can get that will cover both landscapes and up-close wildlife without compromising too much? I'm looking at the Canon 30D EOS camera to go with the lense because I keep seeing good reviews on it, but let me know if you think I should get something else. Thanks!

DSLR camers for nature/ wildlife photography? Right now, I am using a Sony H9 point and shoot for my nature and wildlife photography. It does OK for the most part and the 15X zoom is great for most wildlife shots. since I mainly just post my photos to my outdoor blog ( http://www.afreshpath.com ) the resolution and general quality are ok. What I would like though is to find a DSLR camera and lens that would take photos of high enough quality for large prints and still keep the weight factor to a minimum...lots of extreme hiking is involved with wildlife photography! Your recommendations are appreciated!
