Hi there.
I am a newbie shopping for a first bridge camera and wondering how much focal length is usually needed for waders and shorebirds please? Most of my birdwatching is coastal, a lot from my car as I can't walk far. My main requirements would be uploading to Ebird and for id purposes, though if I could get some nice pics too I would be delighted! (My hubby assures me that I won't find 1 camera to do everything so have crossed music gig videos off my requirement list )
The P950 & P1000 obviously come up a lot for birders, and I was wondering if 2000/3000mm would be needed, or if i would be better going for shorter length and a larger 1" sensor, and if so would 600mm be enough?
Budget around £750
Many thanks
