Thanks Derek,and Leon,Larry and Brian.
Derekl,I too found the 50D quite a learning curve after the 450D,taking time to observe nature and anticipate a good time to take shots,and then only take 3 to 4 and very quick speed,and then look and observe.I teneded to take much larger bursts of shots at high speed,and was always disappointed until changed to the above approach,when birds on a brabch etc try AV mode at around F8 and adjust comp,iso usually around 400,but I've had it up to 800 in low light with good results.
With regard to T/C's I only have 6 months experience,and bought them for very specific purposes for use trapping dingo's-the more I can learn about them,better results in trapping (every scalp is a $100),so the T/C's have certainly helped earn money.Also use them for wildlife spotting which is most enjoyabe,I never had intent to use for anti theft work,but the Blackflash ones would work-but stick the higher up the tree-say 15-20 ft or more-out of eye line.
The Bushnells are good,but no camo pattern to blend in,the scoutgaurd is a bit cheaper,the video quality not quite as good,and no sound,but easy to use in the field,the Bushnells can be used with 'python lock'-a handy bit of kit-see images.
If you need any more info,I'll try and help,and provide links top where I got gear.
