I'm looking to purchase a camera that can serve two functions: 1) take my
usual family chaos shots, with built-in flash, auto-focus,
idiot-proofing, etc. and 2) be able to use as a quasi-birding camera, one
that I could put a long lens on and take reasonable shots of birds in the
field. Is this possible? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
