Hello
I'm after a little advice please. I currently use a compact camera with an 18 x Optical Zoom and have basic understanding of the Aperture and Shutter settings. I photograph a mix of wildlife, landscapes, flowers and would like to start achieving bokeh on some of my photos going forward.
I'm looking to upgrade and have been offered a used Nikon D3200 with an AF-S Nikkor 55-300mm 1:4.5 - 5.6 G ED VR lens and also a kit lens which I'm considering but also looking at a Bridge Camera (possibly the Nikon B700) mainly due to the smaller size, lighter weight and Super Zoom facility.
My questions:
1. Is the Bokeh effect generally easier to achieve on entry level DSLR’s rather than low to mid range Bridge Cameras?
2. I've read you get a reduction in sharpness the more you optically zoom in when using a Super Zoom Bridge Camera. Is this correct?
3. Would there be a reduction in sharpness when I zoom in when using the above mentioned Nikkor 55-300mm lens?
Hope you can help
