Hi, I'm new to this forum and relatively new to photography outside of point and shoots. I currently have a Fuji X-E1 with the 35mm and 18-55mm lenses. I absolutely adore this camera and the lenses but I'd like to be able to do some telephoto work for birding, light astronomy (moon etc.), and just shots that I can't conveniently get close to. Fuji is about to release the new 55-200mm lens for the Fuji X-mount and I had originally planned to get that. However, I feel on some level that having such a huge lens on the Fuji more or less negates the design purpose of a mirror less like the X-E1.
So here's what I've been thinking... I can get a Nikon D7000 with the 70-300mm lens (both factory refurb with warranty) for roughly another 300 bucks.. which would give me another camera and a much longer telephoto zoom. The added bonus of having the other camera would be that it would give me a camera for my wife to use when I decide to go into photography mode.
Any thoughts or experiences with the 70-300mm? Which would be better for my purposes?
