After quite a biT of thought, I am thinking strongly about buying a kit with just the 55-300 mm with an accesory set to include a 2x doubler which I can play with. I think I will skip the 300-800 mm as well. When they include it in a kit for just $100, how good can it be?
I have used a Fujifilm HS-20 for about five years. It is not SLR and is equipped with a superzoom of 24-720 mm. But the sensor is failing and quits at the most inoportune moments.
I have no interest in macro shots. So I really think I can pass on the 18-55 mm.
And I am guessing the Nikon will deliver greater resolution, and faster shutter speeds at 300 mm than he Fuji did at 720 mm.
At this point my thouhts are, if I can't get the kids close enough in the field, I can do it on the computer.
