#3 Why I bought the Sony a6700 and the 200-600mm lens! And a bonus Eagle!

In episode 3 of the 250 Bird Challenge I answer some viewer questions about my new gear. Of course I will also try to add some nice species to the yearlist!

Nice setup!

Thanks!

Hi, I also have the same lens but the A6500 body. I also use the 1.4 converter with the 200-600 lens for more reach and it gives excellent results. :)

[@TheDutchBirder]

Yeah a convertor is also what I'm saving up for. Although at this moment my first priority would be a heat image scope

Nice set up! But regarding your statement on Nikon and the 120fps 4K, I think the Nikon Z6 iii does that as well and costs half of the Z8 - but still a bit more than the a6700 :)

[@TheDutchBirder]

Yes true I forgot to tell about it. Also it doesn't have bird eye autofocus. But I haven't compared both systems so the AF could work equaly good in the field.
Also the a6700 has a higher pixel density. 6k on a crop sensor vs 6k on a full frame sensor. For filming wildlife I prefer the extra crop above the ability to film full frame.

Another incredible video! I really like the concept of a lens with internal zoom, something I do not currently have on my bird photography lens

[@TheDutchBirder]

Yeah it workes great ^-^ also love the very short throw on it.

Toffe video! Maar wat vliegt daar op minuut 5.40 achter de auto? Kun je er thuis nog 1 afvinken ;-) het lijkt op een valkje?

[@TheDutchBirder]

Dat lijkt me een zilvermeeuw. Die heb ik inmiddels in een andere aflevering al gefilmd 😊

[@ruudbeentjes5124]

hoi leuk om dit te volgen zou ook de Nederlandse naam van de vogels in de film gemonteerd kunnen worden , mijn Egels is niet zo goed en wil niet elke keer de vertaling opzoeken
nou ga lekker zo door!

[@TheDutchBirder]

Hee! Ik heb ook een Nederlands kanaal waar dezelfde video's volledig in het Nederlands op komen: ruclips.net/video/i8DovX3LHZk/видео.htmlsi=ao4i-YKwHUdd1dqW

[@PiVaMa]

I bought the nikon Z8 and not using it for video, but that is going to change! Love your vlog, keep it up!

[@TheDutchBirder]

Should give you great results!

[@jurassic_hobbyonmyaltaccou3878]
