Gear Which camera system to buy for birding? Esp birds in flight
17
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 went out looking for ospreys but I think this ended up being my favorite shot.

All of these nutcrackers were just hanging out on the path to Morskie Oko, letting me photograph them while they waited to steal food from unsuspecting hikers - successfully on a few occasions. Couldn't ask for more cooperative subjects. I'm guessing the pair were a parent and demanding juvenile, but let me know what you think of them!

ADULT WESTERN SANDPIPER. Thanks to all who corrected my error, I learned a new bird (but can’t change the post title XD). I assumed in the field, but should have checked when I got home.
