I am looking for a camera for bird and general nature photography. I previously had Canon350D with Sigma APODG zoom 80x300mm.
My technique involves shooting whatever rare I see on a birding travel, rarely bothering with much technique except composition, zoom, ISO and shutter speed, little post-processing, and generally photography should not take over walking round and birding. Still I made some amazing pictures and sold some.
The new camera should be generally, a new replacement of that one. In particular:
- It should not be significantly heavier - large bird lenses are no-go for me. I need to be very mobile.
- It should still be a good camera with telephoto lenses, able to take high quality pictures (not just documents).
My problem is that not photographing long I completely lost contact with what is relatively cheap entry level camera which many birders buy.
