For wild life photography U need to have a camera with high optical zoom with anti shake tecnology and one with higher mega pixels and have the options for further attachments.
Sony, Panasonic, canon , nikon are the leaders in this field.
So, according to ur specification and ur budget u can choose among them.

a) Canon EOS 350D Digital SLR Camera ( Rs. 31200 )

Features are :
1) High-resolution 8.0-megapixel CMOS sensor (APS-C size) with 8 million effective pixels.
2) 2nd generation CMOS sensor with an ISO speed range of 100 -1600.
3) Features noise reduction technology which more effectively minimises unwanted noise for visibly clearer images
4) Powered by advanced DIGIC II Imaging Processor.

b) CANON Digital SLR Camera - EOS 400D - 10.1 MP ( Rs. 31695 )

a good 300mm lens, with a maximum aperture of F4, is not cheap. A Canon lens of these specs, with image stabilisation, costs around $1,200.

An alternative is a 75mm - 300mm zoom, but here you will usually have a maximum aperture of F5.6. This means shooting at a slower shutter speed and a greater chance of blurred pictures from camera shake.

Bear in mind also that these lenses, combined with your 35mm camera body, are fairly heavy and bulky.

A very satisfactory but underrated alternative to this traditional set-up is a digital camera with a powerful zoom lens.

In addition to my Canon digital SLR equipment, I still use an ageing Olympus C-2100 UZ digital camera. It's only a 2.1 megapixel camera, but has an excellent X10 zoom lens. This equates to a 38 - 380mm lens, plus it is image-stabilised, so allows hand-holding at slower shutter speeds.

Below is a picture of a baboon taken in the Kruger National Park. It's been reduced from 1600 x 1200 pixels to 400 x 300, but otherwise unretouched. The shutter speed was 1/320, aperture F3.2 and the lens was zoomed to 317mm.

There are a number of digicams available today with 10x and 12x zoom lenses, which at their maximum zoom range will give you about the magnification you'd get with a 400mm lens on a normal 35mm camera.

The advantages of these cameras are:

* Big zoom range, allowing wide-angle scenic pictures, yet powerful enough to zoom in on more distant subjects.
* Wide maximum aperture - usually around F3.5 - that allows shooting in lower light at a shutter speed that minimises camera shake.
* Affordable - you don't need to hock your belongings to buy one, as might be the case if you bought a 400mm F4 lens (Canon's 400mm F4 image-stabilised lens with Diffractive Optics will set you back about $5,000!).

well;
Nikon gears like Nikon F5, F100, FM2 bodies and Nikon 600/4 AFS etc lenses. I take photo of birds and animals and do also micro photography. I asked questions to some of the wildlife photographers. Most of them suggest Quantum T2 Flash, some suggests Nikon SB28 etc and nobody did Metz, I don't know why while I have read reviews in some of the sites that Metz Flashes give the more natural light than Nikons do and are comparitively more powerful. So I had set my mind for Metz flash and was thinking which one to buy before the suggestions I got for Nikon SB28 and Quantum T2. I can not buy Quantum one as it is too heavy and expensive. 1.However, I will be ready to buy heavy but powerful flashes like Metz 60 CT4, 50 MZ-5 etc but don't know which one is the best.

2.I am even thinking to buy Metz 40 MZ-3i or Metz 54 MZ3 and use better beamer extender but I don't know whether it is a good idea.

3.I prefer not to buy batteries all the time. It means perhaps I have to buy flashes like MZ 60 CT4 with Dry fit batteries or maybe I can buy powerpack for smaller flash like Metz 40 MZ-3i or Metz 54 MZ 3. However, I don't know how much difference it makes in terms of money, ease of use, and power (output) etc. 4.Please also don't hesitate to comment on the comparison between Nikon SB28 and Metz 40 MZ-3i(say).
