What camera is best to take wildlife pictures with?
My little digital olympus camera recently lost its life on a little ocean adventure. I liked my camera but I think it is time to invest in something much better..but I have no idea where to start! Here's a list of what I'd like to use the camera for 
1. Wildlife- I am pursuing a career in wildlife and I'd like my camera to be able to take awesome close up photos of reptiles, but also be able to take awesome bird photos from afar.
2. People- Un-blurred photos of people.
3. Pets- Catching the ever elusive dog that won't sit still.
4. Microscope work-Botany, disease ecology, etc. Got to get photos of cells and such!
In summary I'd like something with high optical zoom, macro settings, possibly compatible with a microscope attachment, and great stabilization.
Price Range: Under $350 (i'm on a college budget.)
My guess it that any P&S camera with at least a 30x optical zoom would work.
The problem you will encounter is shooting at dusk and dawn when most wild animals are out grazing. Those lenses are not fast, so you will have to jack up your cameras ISO to keep from getting blur caused by camera or subject movement during relatively slow shutter speeds
Another issue you will encounter is shutter lag found with most P&S cameras, so you will have to predict when you will have to press the shutter release so you don't miss your dogs antics.
Most microscope/telescope shops have the adapter you will need to connect your camera to the microscope
Look at the Nikon P500 as a start.
