[QUOTE="bluzman, post: 848859, member: 47800"] A quick check says the D7500 + 80-400mm VR rig weighs 5+ pounds. I'd suggest considering either the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV or new Mk V that are about half of that weight. Generally speaking, they both have a 1" 20.1MP sensor and a fixed lens with an equivalent focal length range of 24 to 600mm, and wide open aperture range of 2.4 (W) to 4.0 (T). Unlike many other bridge cameras, they feature Phase Detection Auto Focus (315 PDAF points) rather than Contrast Detection Auto Focus (CDAF). The burst rate is up to 24 frames/second. The Mk V also incorporates Subject Detection (birds,etc) like the latest Nikon mirrorless bodies do. Here are some examples from my RX10 IV.
