What is the best digital camera/lens for long distances?
I have a Nikon D40 and it does really well, but I am not sure what kind of lens to get for it, and I want one that can capture long distances. Or are there better cameras out there?
There are much better cameras out there but the D40 will be fine. Depending on what your budget is there are a bunch of available lenses. Below are some links to good telephoto lenses for Nikon. The 55-200 and 70-300 are very popular sizes. Keep in mind that your camera will only focus with AFs lenses. The AF lenses will mount but you would have to focus manually. See the special note in red next to the lenses. It will tell you whether or not they will work.
