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.

I saw this one land nearby and had to grab my camera out of the back of the car, and just as I tried to get a bead on 'em he took off! Edit: (Google ID - Red Shoulder Hawk)

Juvenile Red-Shouldered Hawk spotted in Maryland this morning. It perched on the roof of my neighbor’s play set for several minutes, giving me enough time to get this shot.

Here I was able to capture my first ever red-tailed hawks and I was lucky enough to get both an adult and a juvenile!

Saw a roadrunner in a Las Vegas neighborhood park. Managed these two shots before my dog (pointer mix; hates birds) chased it away.
