AfricanBootyShine: Jan 9, 2006; Snake wins.

I'm going be in Southern Africa in over the holidays this year, and plan on taking some photos.

I'm thinking of getting a telephoto, but I've got a very limited budget (£200 is my hard limit, ideally less) and am split between bringing my Canon EOS300 (Film EF mount w/ AF) or a Nikon D7100. I'm leaning toward the Canon as the Nikon is heavy AF.

Any advice? I'm thinking if canon I'll get a 75-300 f/4, as they don't seem too bad and are in the middle of my price range. I know for Nikon there's the 70-300 VR? I looked into rentals but they work out to be more than the cost of outright purchasing one of these lenses.
