Gear Which camera system to buy for birding? Esp birds in flight
19
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.

Recently got a Sony A7V and a 200-600mm lens. Finally got lucky enough for this guy to put on a show Thursday moring. The silhouette provided an amazing shot andnthe sun light offnthe beak. A little.harsh light towards the tail but I think I crushed it!
