[QUOTE="ryan20fun, post: 492091, member: 38850"] Hello again :) I found that shooting Lesser Striped Swallow's (Hirundo abyssinica) with my D3200 and Sigma 150-600 C was more difficult then expected. The camera would take ~1s from spotting the bird for the AF to decide that it was in focus, Now they were smallish in the distance with then coming low overhead ~15m every now and then. So: Is this what is to be expected from the D3200 and would a D7200/7100 do better? The reason I am asking is that my younger brother is going to be buying a D750 soon and there is a kit with the 24-105 for a little bit more. So I don't do much close stuff( and have been looking at a 35/50mm to replace the 18-55 kit lens ) so I an not sure about the AF. Bottom line: Is the AF acquisition faster on the D7200/7100 ( which I kinda expect )? -(I would also like a nice short zoom aswell, but can't choose both right now). Thanks in advance -Ryan.
