What camera is really good for bird watching?

I have been shopping around for a camera with long zoom and good megapixels for bird watching. However, all the cameras I searched for sacrifice picture quality for mega zoom. Any suggestions for super zoom cameras under $500?

Canon S3IS. It is a really good camera, takes really good pictures but I do not think it will be enough for bird watching for zoom purposes. Maybe a tame bird you can get a good shot at but wild birds you may not be able to fit the frame with it. Thats why pros have 600mm lenses with a 2X converter at the end of the lens.

What kind of telescope would really take advantage of a Meade LPI Camera?

What about a 5" 1020 mm one? with at least 80mm aperture?

A 5" telescope has 5" of aperture.

The quick answer is, a large telescope would take advantage of the Meade LPI Camera. The camera has an effective magnfication somewhere in the range of an eyepeice that's 6mm in focal length, which means it's high magnification. The larger the telescope is in aperture, the higher the "resolution" which means you will be able to obtain better images with high magnification eyepieces.

That being said, your decision should ultimatly be based on your price range and what type of objects you'd prefer to image and view. An 80mm apochromatic refractor is a nice little quality telescope which will give nice (albeit small) images of planets and using a camera on it such as the Meade LPI will give you nice images, even of things you can barely see, as long as you have the proper mount. 80mm is rather small though and a larger telescope will allow you to be more versitile in your viewing. A lot of people are content with 8" Schmidt Cassegrains as an all around scope.

Is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image a unique patch of sky?

or would as many galaxies be found in any dark spot if you just aimed the telescope there long enough?

The deep field is just a continual exposure, and the spot was chosen at random. Logically, any patch of sky would look similair, which is pretty amazing. If you haven't seen them, look up the Hubble Nebula photos. The coloration is artificial, representative of gases, but it's astounding.
