Recommendations for beginner camera for wildlife? (self.photography)

submitted 1 year ago by stochasticity to c/photography

I want to take wildlife/outdoor photos recreationally. I don't want to get frustrated by photo quality, but I also don't want to spend more than I need to. That being said I'm willing to consider expensive equipment, but only if it benefits my needs. Does anyone have some canned recommendations?

You are definitely winning the confidence vote.

Regarding the lens, is there a reason to not do something like the below if it appears to be less expensive? At least ostensibly they cover a similar range of focal lengths, but using two lenses.
