A friend of mine borrowed a 7K (or similar) telephoto lens to put on his old 
Canon 300D body when he went to watch an air show.  The photos are 
absolutely stunning, and I don't think if he had used a more expensive body 
the photos would have been *much* better (but on the other hand, without the 
big lens they would have been rubbish).

If you want to take action photos of things from far away under dodgy light, 
then even the cheapest dSLR body will be fine, just get the biggest lens you 
can afford.
