Dear Friends,
I have been Browsing several Indian and International Photography Related Websites.
Many Including me are left badly confused after the exhaustive research,or at-least of which we seem to have illusion of having done.
Reasons:

  1. *1.*NIKON v/s CANON
  2. *2.*Cost of Respective equipment
  3. *3.*Video Capability of One Manufacturer(Canon,of which one just cannot resist the temptation) V/S Superior Low light(ISO) Performance of the other manufacturer(Nikon)
  4. *4.* Nikon has UNDISPUTED Nikon 200-400mm(ALAS Thanks to Mr.Thom Hogan and alike who feels its a tad soft for farther subjects) and all the most loveable Wide Angle Lens
  5. *5* Some Contrast related issues between the two manufactures

*_Subject_*
  1. Mainly wildlife
  2. *1.*Small Birds
  3. *2.*Birds In Flight
  4. *3.*Incredible Tigers and massive elephants in close range(LOVE INCREDIBLE INDIA FOR THAT)

*_Method of Shooting_*

  1. *1.*Safari jeep(Most of the time)
  2. *2* Sometimes with monopod
  3. *3* When opportunity favours Tripod with Wimberly-2 Gimbal Head

*_My QUESTION _*
*_/Whats the best set of equipment??????????/_*
I have two options in my mind
  1. *_ OPTION 1._* _ALL The way Nikon_

    [
    LIST=1]
  2. *1.*Nikon D3s+ Nikon 200-400mm F/4 along with
  3. *2.* Nikon D300s +Nikon 500mm F/4 VR II(Not 600 as its too heavy, difficult to manoeuvre)
  4. *3.* Nikon 300mm 2.8 and Nikon 105mm F/2.8 Macro
