I'm toying with the idea of pursuing wildlife photography, but I know absolutely nothing about cameras. Can you gives give me some good forums, books, camera names that can set me in the right path?

what's to learn?

fold your image in thirds horizontally and vertically, place your subject where the folds intersect.

there, fifteen words. which makes sense, because rule of thirds is reaaallly basic composition.

From the stuff I've seen and the folks I've met at the audubon meetings I sometimes go to, it's really more about how patient and how rich you are. All the guys that are heavily into it drop serious bucks on fast 300 and 400mm lenses and even then usually stick a teleconverter on. Get up before dawn to hang out in a blind or tree stand all day.
If frostbite and empty bank accounts sounds awesome to you~

A cheap solution would be to buy a good superzoom. F/3.x lenses at over 400mm equivalent, for only a few hundred dollars.

The compromise, of course, being that the photographer would have to stick to < ISO 400.

sure, or a 200mm on a crop sensor with a 1.4x tc; I was just talking about the guys that are really into it. If you're dedicated or crafty enough, a blind and an old 70-210 could do you alright
