- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Last year I bought a super-zoom point-and-shoot (Canon Powershot SX520), which has a 35mm equivalent zoom range of 24mm to 1008mm (thanks to extreme crop-factor). Having that 1008mm focal length is awesome for getting some great wildlife shots. But these shots are taken at the full 1008mm focal length.
But this camera quickly falls apart in low-light situations, and with landscape shots where details just look muddled.
I'd like to improve the quality of my photos with a DSLR (I've been eyeing the D5500). But I'm afraid that to get that great zoom on a DSLR requires extremely expensive lenses. Will a more affordable 300mm lens still be able to get great shots (like below), even with cropping to get nice and tight photos of wildlife?
