Hello! I am in search of my first bridge camera and am new to the world of bird photography. I will primarily be birding and taking pics in the NYC area, with the exception of bringing it on hiking and birding trips abroad about 2x a year. I do not plan on (for now) doing any post-processing to the pictures.
I'm interested in the Nikon P900 or the Nikon B700. I hear great things about the P900 but when I went to see it in store, the camera was heavier and bigger than I thought. The size and weight concern me because I typically spend the entire day outside birding. I enjoy the size and weight of the B700 more but is it a downgrade compared to the P900? The P900 looks like it beats the B700 is almost every category (reach, stabilization, IQ, etc.) except for weight, RAW, and 4k capabilities.
I would love to hear some thoughts about the P900 vs B700. Does the weight and size of the P900 bother anyone? Are there any other bridge cameras under $600 that are good contenders?
Thanks!
