For casual, "I saw this" captures, the new 70-300mm 1-series lens plus the Nikon V3 looks pretty tasty. ~800mm equivalent, light and small, with VR, no adapters to worry about. It's going to be a lot more limited at high ISO than a DSLR, though. Focus speed will be/is very good on the 1-series.
For a budget, a refurbished D7000 + 300mm f/4 + 1.4x or 1.7x converter will produce excellent results for under $2000. High ISO will be much better than the 1-series. The 300mm f/4 has impeccable image quality. No zoom or VR, of course.
If you want to blow the budget, the 80-400mm lens is excellent - I like mine a lot. The IQ isn't quite on par with the 300mm, but it's 90% of the way there, it's better than the 300mm + teleconverters, and you get the flexibility of the zoom.
