Wildlife photography lens

The lens configuration of the landlord's two schemes is too low.

If the budget can't be moved, it is recommended that the fuselage be shrunk.

See what the landlord needs:

The difference between D300S and D300 is a video. If you don't care about videos, it's easy to find second-hand D300, around 7000.

D300S is superior to D90 in focusing, metal body, continuous shooting speed and video. If you don't shoot birds, or you can't afford a fast-focus lens like 70-200 f2.8, there is little difference between D300S and D90, which can save a lot of money.

The new D7000 is just a little worse than the D300 series in focusing. Without the handle, the continuous shooting is basically flat, and the picture quality and video of the metal body are better. I think it's better to buy a cheaper D7000 with higher pixel quality and more comprehensive aspects than D300S.

This can save a lot of money.

On the lens, if the landlord wants to shoot flowers, grass and insects, then there must be a macro lens.

Spend 60 f2.8G if you have less money, 105VR or 150 f2.8 if you have more money.

where is the money to come from? If you don't shoot static birds, save 70-300VR. To shoot dynamic birds, it is suggested to save 70-200VR, or add some money to a horse's old 70-200.

70-300VR and 55-300VR have average picture quality and average focusing speed, which can't give play to the focusing ability of D300S. It is best to match D90. If you must buy it, I think 55-300 is better, because new products will always grow more or less than old products, and they are cheaper.

18-55 and 18-70 have little difference in image quality, and 18- 105VR is more convenient. Just choose one of the three.

SB800 is of little use in shooting wild animals and can be omitted. If necessary, you can find a second-hand SB600, which is about 1200, which is not much different from SB800.

In this way, if you buy a D90, you can add a flying bird suitable horse 70-200 f2.8, macro 150 f2.8, macro 18-55 or 18-70. If you don't want a macro head, you can get a Nikon 70-200F2.8VR.

If you buy D7000 or second-hand D300, you can add a Sigma 70-200 and a 18-70 plus a macro at 60 f2.8.
