If you look at the Alpha 7R series, they usually have more megapixels so you’ll end up with a larger photo.

You also (usually) get larger megapixel counts in full frame cameras, which translates to more crop-ability if you're not able to get really close to the wildlife.

This means as you raise the ISO to get faster shutter speeds, you’ll see less noise in the photo. First, full frame cameras tend to have better high ISO performance. Once you enter the full frame world you generally get two advantages that lend themselves to wildlife. These cameras are full frame cameras and each have an advantage.

For this range I'd recommend something like the Sony Alpha 7R series (the Alpha 7R IV is the latest at this time) or the Alpha 9 series (the Alpha 9 II is the latest at this time).
Moving on to the mid-range setup, we'll jump to a full frame camera. Mid-High Range Setup For Bird Photography But in good light, noise isn't an issue and there are plenty of programs for post-processing that can help you eliminate it after if you need. Full frame cameras tend to perform a little better at higher ISO settings. But if you can get close to the action and crop less, you'll still have a massive sized file which will be more than enough to share on social media and still plenty big enough to print. That mostly translates to either print size or crop-ability if you can't get close to your subjects.
First, the crop sensor cameras tend to have a lower megapixel count than a full frame camera. There are two main downsides to a system like this. And because it's on a cropped sensor, your focal lengths are boosted by 1.5 because of the crop factor. And anyone who's ever photographed birds before knows that you can never have enough “zoom” to your lens. And the 70-350mm lens is so light, yet reaches so far so you can really zoom in on the action. For bird photography, if you can handhold your camera + lens, it just makes it so much easier to get the shot. But beyond that you have a really small setup that's light and easy to handhold and travel with. For starters, the price – as it’ll cost a lot less than a full frame camera setup. There are some great advantages to this setup, which by the way, I also own and use. And you could always grab a 16-70mm lens and you'd have the entire range you could possibly want, yet still fit it all in a really small camera bag. One of my favorite wildlife lenses for this system is the Sony 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 G. It shoots 11 frames per second which captures a lot of action and uses the same battery as Sony's full frame cameras so you'll get plenty of battery life from it.
This is a cropped sensor (APS-C) camera and shoots 24.3 Megapixel photos which is still plenty of size for a large print. specifically the Alpha 6600 if you want the newest, but the older Alpha 6000 cameras are also great if you already own one. Now, if you’re looking for a camera where you can change lenses I'd recommend, something in the Sony Alpha 6000 line. It’s a great camera for a beginner and has the features and capabilities to grow with you as you get better.

The camera is also small, light and portable which means you’re more likely to take it with you everywhere. It has fast auto focus to help you lock on to the birds, and 24 frames per second so you can really catch some key moments. It’s a 20 megapixel fixed lens camera (yes… no changing lenses) that goes from a wide 24mm all the way out to 600mm (which is plenty for most wildlife). If this is your first camera, I love recommending the RX10 series. I’ll start fairly simple and then we can grow from there. So let's approach this from a budget and experience standpoint. (You can sign up for Matt Kloskowski's "How To Make Great Bird Photos" Alpha Workshop HERE.) Like most things, sometimes the gear we need to enjoy these experiences can be intimidating so I wanted to write this article to help make it easier to pick which gear may be right for you. When you add the challenge and feeling of accomplishment you get from getting that great shot, it makes for a really rewarding experience. For starters, we can use photography to get a peek into a world we don’t normally see with birds and wildlife. Over the years I’ve found bird photography to be one of the most rewarding areas in photography I’ve ever experienced.
