Please /p/, set me on the right path. I'm a total beginner and I never owned a real camera. I'm pretty much only interested in shooting wildlife (mainly deer, pic rel is a screenshot of a shitty video I took through my telescope ) and I'm very lost. I need to know how much I should save minimum.
From what I gathered, the camera needs decent ISO range, AF, fps in burst mode, and that the lens is more important than the body. Also from what I've read cropped is better than full frame if I can't afford a really good distance lens because it gives better "reach".
One site said a good entry level combo would be the Nikon D3300 with a Nikon AF-S VR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 IF-ED or Tamron SP AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD.
How correct is this information? Is it reasonable to jump straight into this kind of photography?
