What kind of zoom lense for bird photography?

Ok so i am pretty new to photography but i am getting better. I am mostly interested in bird photography. I have taken many pictures of birds in my backyard from hummingbirds to pileated woodpeckers. The crows are too scared lol
So i am looking for a lense with good zoom, at least 400mm. My current zoom lense is 55-200mm.

So my camera is a nikon d3300. I need a lense with at least 400mm zoom for photographing wild birds. I would like to photograph other animals too but i currently dont have the opportunity to. The lense cant be very expensive because i am a teenager and unless it is under $100 (ebay?) my parents will choose whether they want to pay it or not.

I put a picture i took of a hummingbird. The picture is compressed so it is blurry when you zoom into it. But the actual picture is very good. What kind of zoom lense for bird photography

Does the Nikon 105mm Macro lens work also as a zoom lens in a Dslr camera?


Does the Nikon 105mm Macro lens work also as a zoom lens in a Dslr camera?
Added (1). I like taking macro pictures, and have a 40mm macro lens. The only thing I miss in the 40mm lens I have, is the lack of VR.
I use this lens as a prime all occasions lens.
I do a lot of macro shootings, but I also like a lens that is versatile.
I was thinking also about the 18-300mm lens, which is quite compact… But I dont know how if I can take good macro with this.
Big doubt… Lol

Should I invest in a better camera body or lense?


I have a ~$2000 budget for camera gear and my shots will mostly be for a local newsletter. I want the ability to shoot all kinds of shots from sports (which may need telephoto) to portraits (which would benefit from high aperture lenses).

Assuming I wanted to go Canon, i'm thinking of investing in a mid-range DSLR camera body (like a 70D) and maybe a cheap telephoto lense to go along with the kit lense. Or I could buy a lower-tier body (like a T5i) and go with a better walkaround lense instead, or maybe even a ~50mm prime and a better telephoto.

What are your thoughts?

How to sell a Nikon D3000?


I would like to sell my Nikon D3000 or even trade it. The problem is I dont know to go about it. I don't know how much the camera actual cost for a used camera and I also do not know where to sell it. Should I sell it on eBay, pawn shop, or go to company to trade it in? What would you do and what company is the most reliable for this?

Camera or a Mobile Phone?


I know this is not an appropriate question, but I'm confused whether to buy a bridge camera or a smartphone. They are completely different but I need some help in deciding.

It's either a Nikon P900(83×Optical Zoom)or a Samsung Galaxy S7 (which will be announced on Feb 21).

I currently have a Galaxy Note 3 and I don't have a camera. Seeing the technology these days,it just confuses my mind. I like plane spotting as well. But the S7 phone keeps me from thinking again and as I told the phone has not been revealed to the public as of now I'm writing this post. Seeing all those teasers of the phone,am not sure if I should go for a camera or the phone.

**Please note** I know it's absolutely different matter to compare but I'm just looking for answers which would guide my way.
Thanks!
