Help on a new camera purchase please.

  Wife wants to buy a new camera for a Disney land trip.  I want one for really decent pictures of wildlife, and outdoor shots.
  Please help me with experience.  I'm guessing our price range may be about 1300.00 right now but a little flexible.

What do you want?  A DSLR?  How many lenses do you want?  You have a healthy enough budget

I was just at Costco and IIRC you can get into the new fancy pants 70D for that much. ITs on sale through tomorrow. Comes with a wide and a tele zoom to boot! Done! It is one of the few cameras that features continuous auto focus for video shooting. If you didn't know--when you shoot video with most DSLRs you have to manually focus as you're shooting.

I picked up a Nikon D7100 last year and love it. It does pretty good shooting both video & hi-res imagery but if you want it to be really strong on video without pixelation and also be good in low light, there are some other cameras and at least lenses you should grab too.
