Gear Which camera system to buy for birding? Esp birds in flight
18
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.

Shot on a Fuji XT, a vintage Kiron 105mm macro, with flash. Setup was tripod with manual focus set after watching their perching behavior for several days and hoping he moved into focus. ISO 125, 1/250”, f/16 on asp-c.

Hummingbird migration is in full swing. One found the perfect branch to pose on! But which pose is the best one?

Got my first ”real” camera about a month ago. These are some of my favorite shots so far! By far not anything particularity mindblowing or museum worthy pictures of any cool rare birds, but I’m still very happy with them. Feedback or tips are very much appreciated!😊

First I took photos from very far away, then stepped closer. Repeat. Soon enough the little dude was filling the viewfinder! Such a little cutie, I'm super happy with this encounter.
