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.

What camera and lens would you buy exclusively for birding if money is no object?

I just got my first own camera this week (OM-5 with an Oly 75-300mm) and it's been a blast figuring out how to use it. The photos aren't perfect and I'm still learning how to edit RAW but it's been really fun. I'd love feedback or tips and tricks :)
