[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 607457, member: 25183"] That is another one I'm looking at. I like the fact it has a larger 1 inch sensor and the f/2.8-4 aperture is much better than some of the other options I'm looking at. The reason it's not right at the top of my list is that it is above my budget (I could probably be persuaded to stretch it that far but not sure my wife would be too happy) and I'm concerned it won't give me enough reach. I'm used to shooting at and equivalent of 750mm with my D7100 and still being able to crop quite heavily. I assume when you say you can extend it to 800mm you mean through cropping? I just worry that with a smaller sensor and fewer mp I'm not going to be able to get anywhere near the reach I have now. The B700 has an equivalent focal length of 1440mm which is going to get me much closer in terms of reach, it's cheaper but it has an even smaller sensor and is f/6.5 at the long end. Those are significant downsides and will result in probably much noisier images due to higher iso. I guess I've still got plenty of thinking to do. [USER=9922]@nikonpup[/USER] I'm yet to find a store near me that rents out cameras so the best I'll probably manage is taking a few shots in store. [/QUOTE]
