I've just got into photography so I would hate to spend £2-3k on a body and lens and fall out of love with it! I'm going to get a used 70-300, get to grips with the camera and lens and become much more experienced and then I can upgrade next year :)

That's brilliant Phil thanks for that....

I had the D3300 bought for me a couple of months ago, but don't want it to limit the potential of wildlife photography and of the lens. Would you suggest getting the 70-300 as a lot less ££ and would work well with my body, then In a year or so when I'm more proficient I can treat myself to a...

So maybe stick to a smaller lens until I can upgrade the body? I've no idea what those graphs show either...!!

Thanks for the input will have a gander on Flickr. I guess i dont want to spend money on the 70-300 if i will be left wanting more after a couple of months so i think i will continue to save and use my kit lens for now, and opt for the longer lens in a few months :)

Yes, youre right, up to 1200 compared to 700 of the 3300, i stand corrected (said the man in the orthopedic shoes)

Ive just got a D3300 with kit lens which cost my partner around £300ish, body only with marginal difference (and not for the better) for £399 body only?? JOG ON !

I try and go a few times a year, stunning place!

I think the leaves at the top would be better in focus but the water looks silky which I like!
