I have recently started to get into wildlife photography and am keen to take it further. If I get a good image that's a bonus to watching beautiful creatures in the wild. My previous experience is mostly portrait/people especially studio, but have dabble in most genres.
I've always used Nikon DSLRs, but have no strong brand loyalty. I've been doing a lot of reading/research about a good equipment set for wildlife and am starting to get bogged down.
My equipment requirements are:
1. Wildlife including small birds, but not BIF (yet).
2. Reasonably light for hiking.
3. Budget of around £1500 for body and lens/es - I usually buy 2nd hand.
I absolutely understand that there is no "right" answer and that the photographer's skill/patience is the most important factor. However, I'd be very interested to hear people suggestions. I'm open to any brand and system: FF, APS-C, MFT, mirrorless, whatever.
Thanks in advance, Patrick
