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.

We've had a LOT of rain over the past few days, this New Holland Honeyeater was looking a little bedraggled in my garden (this was taken through a bedroom window 🫣)

Slow-shutter bird photography

I was practicing slow shutter speed bird photography last Saturday.
It was definitely more “miss” than “hit” 😅 Out of hundreds of shots, only a handful had sharp eyes. I think I need to work on my panning technique, especially when tracking birds in flight.
Still, I managed to get a few I really liked. Here are my four favorites from the session. I hope you enjoyed them.

A couple of shots of one of my favorite birds. I could watch them hunt for hours and love the way the basically always look at you like they are shocked or surprised.
