Nikon B 700 camera for beginners
If you like to get close to filling the frame with a small bird sitting on a branch of a tree more than 15 feet away, you will need to have a lens with at least a 300 mm reach. If you want to capture a picture of bird in flight, you need a camera that has a shutter speed of at least 1/2000 per second. And with it autofocus is a necessary when photographing birds because it is very difficult to adjust focus manually when trying to track a bird in the air.
