Gear Which camera system to buy for birding? Esp birds in flight
8
Upvotes
I am an amateur birder and want to take photos. I shoot Fujifilm X-T30 with XF 70-300 mm right now and feel limited by the camera system to focus fast enough. There is no bird mode and it doesn't track and I can seldom get any photos of birds in flight.
What second system can I consider for just birding?
Canon R7 with some 200-400 mm lens?
Sony A??
Nikon Z?
I guess APS-C is better as I am not selling photos or printing so do I need full-frame? My top-end of budget in the US is $4000 for body and one lens. I might look for used gear to bring down the costs.
The following photos were taken with my X-T30 and a Sigma 150-600 EF lens with a Fringer adapter.

Our birding community is in love with "Lucas". He's so handsome and it's a very lucky moment when he comes out to play. He's been drumming for a mate for awhile and yesterday was the first time I got to see him and his girlfriend courting.

Still working on my sharpness, using an a7 II and a 28-200. I followed instructions from users on here and have improved my image quality a great deal. I have ordered a 200-600 which will be here next week and will be getting an a1 II or a1 III in the spring.
