[QUOTE="farsidefan1, post: 440824, member: 38359"] I am trying to make up my mind about which direction to go. I hate carrying a large heavy camera on a hike but I love shooting scenery and wildlife. I have a super zoom (60X) lumix but I have had a hard time getting the focus right, especially on moving subjects (birds in flight? forgetttaboutit). I am wondering if I'd be better off shooting a full frame camera with say a 50 mm lens and cropping to catch the bird that otherwise I'd need a 600mm lens to match. If I tried that vs a Nikon 1v3 which would give me a better view of a bird say, 50 yards? If I wanted to blow it up to my computer monitor size (I use my shots as background on my computer) which would give me better results? I have thought about the Nikon D750 for a full frame sensor. Is the full size sensor able to capture enough detail to be blown up and match a telephoto on a mickey mouse sized sensor? Perhaps a compromise of a full size sensor with an 85 prime lens? Just trying to get a feel for what could work. My ideal camera would be weatherized, light, and easy to use. I don't worry about video capabilities or sound. Just like to make pretty pictures. Landscapes, Northern lights, wildlife, grandkids. Those are what I enjoy. I have another camera dedicated to underwater photography (I love sharks) but it has the smaller sensor and only has the 5X zoom.[ATTACH=CONFIG]150870._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]150875._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
