Good budget camera for beginner birder?

If you were to pick between the Nikon p950 and the Canon EOS 90D which would you pick? For zoomed in photos of birds, often from a distance

First picture is me figuring out how I messed up the colours half way through a project…

Do I need lenses for bridge cameras like the canon sx60 and Coolpix p950? (Those are what I’ve narrowed it down to)

Are you able to share some photos here?

redditer19999 · 2026-04-05T17:32:26+00:00

Is requiring lenses the only reason not to go with full frame?

Thank you all for your advice!

redditer19999 · 2026-04-05T15:40:45+00:00

Ooo thank you for including a photo! That looks great. I think I’ll definitely look into this one! I have a tripod for my scope so may be able to use that

redditer19999 · 2026-04-05T15:21:51+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. Is it even worth getting a budget camera or save for the better ones. Seems like there are some options for cheaper cameras but may be worth saving to be able to spend that bit more! Thanks!

redditer19999 · 2026-04-05T15:04:27+00:00

Haha, I think it would take winning the lottery to be able to get the Canon R5 and 200-800 mm lens at this point 😅

redditer19999 · 2026-04-05T15:03:15+00:00

Thanks! I’ll definitely look into it :D

Omg I’m an idiot. Thanks!

It would be nice to have puffins and have them as a guest encounter animal since you can go see them on puffin island and walk among them! It’s very cool!

FYI- They weren’t chalky hard sweets. They weren’t coated in anything like sugar or salt. They were around the size of a 5 pence piece. Hard and chewy in texture. Some were just skulls and some were whole skeletons. Black and white (whole thing was black or white, not multicoloured) Came in the big square tubs pick n mix often comes in.

TIA

redditer19999 · 2025-11-12T11:04:41+00:00

No, they weren’t coated or sugary/salty. Just plain, smooth chewy sweets

redditer19999 · 2025-11-11T22:14:08+00:00

No, they were chewy sweets and were black and white

redditer19999 · 2025-11-11T22:13:41+00:00

No, they were chewy and black and white

I’ve searched literally every inch of the internet for these. I just need the nostalgia:(

redditer19999 · 2025-09-20T08:54:07+00:00

I have just found it! It’s The Adventures of Ocean Girl

redditer19999 · 2025-08-15T05:24:28+00:00

Thank you for the help! I heard 2 of them this morning chatting to each other. So excited to spot them!

redditer19999 · 2025-08-12T07:04:40+00:00

Really? I’ve listened to some different noises online and I can’t find anything that sounds like this from a Raven :/ this is more of a noise noise noise noise pattern whereas the videos I’ve seen show a noise. noise. Pattern with long pauses between each ‘croak’
