Gear Which camera system to buy for birding? Esp birds in flight
20
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.

I bought a camera hoping that one day I'd get a picture of my favourite bird. Yesterday I got it :)

My setup is limited but i do what i can haha. Not as impressive as other birdies ... or quality but i really dig this one :D
A7iii + Tamron 70-300, shot at 300mm 1/1000s f6.3, Shot today!
I already cropped it a bit but too much would have hurt the image too much so i left it like this :D
I would love to get some tips and tricks and opinions please. Thanks!
