Hello All,
New to the forum and still very much a novice so after some advice please?
I have a Fuji Finepix S1 Pro with a Nikon AF NIKKOR 35-70mm f2.8 & Nikon AF NIKKOR 70-200mm f2.8 lenses. I bought the whole package a couple of years ago for £280. Not knowing too much about it I thought this was an ok price but have since realised I did pretty well!
Now the problem I have is that I have really got into the wildlife and in particular bird photography recently. Obviously I use the 70-200 lens 98% of the time for this type of photography. I am finding that as it is difficult to get close to your subject I end up having to crop my pictures when I get home, which with my current set-up means I lose lots of quality and detail in the finished picture.
The S1 Pro is only 6.1 megapixel (or 3mp X 2 something like that!) so should I...
1/ keep the lenses I have and buy a Nikon body with bigger mp count?
2/ Keep the S1 Pro and buy a bigger lens 300/400mm?
3/ Trade in the lot for new body & lens?
Unfortunately I have hundreds £ rather than thousands £ so would probably have to look second hand whatever I do...
Any advice on what to buy and where to buy it or what kit full fills my need would be very much appreciated???
Lots of thanks in advance!
