Table of Contents Bird watching is a wonderful hobby. There's nothing quite as relaxing as viewing animals in nature, and it can be exciting to see a species for the first time or to catch sight of a bird that's uncommon to your area. Smart bird feeders have emerged as a fun new home tech category over the last few years, and I'm here to help you navigate it. I'm not only a camera expert but also an avid birdwatcher, photographer, and the grandson of a renowned wildlife artist.

Entry-level digital cameras are typically bundled with a zoom lens, a convenient choice but one that doesn't quite get the bokeh look or low-light performance that creators seek when upgrading from a smartphone. The Nikkor Z DX 24mm F1.7 ($279.95) slots in as one of the best values in the system thanks to its low price, versatile angle of view, background-blurring optics, and dust- and drip-resistant build.

The Fujifilm Instax Mini 41 mixes retro style with an approachable one-button take on instant photography. This slim, purely analog snapshot machine captures images on wallet-sized Instax Mini film, and looks good enough to take out to a party or a night on the town. Picture quality isn't any different from the most basic camera in the line, the cutesy Instax Mini 12 ($79.95), which is our Editors' Choice for its value and ease of use.

The Z5II is Nikon's newest camera. It’s the first update to the Z 5 from 2020 and is similar in concept and execution to the original. The Z5II is suitable for novice to intermediate photographers, with a large full-frame sensor, a sturdier build than most starter cameras, and the reliable performance Nikon users expect. I had the opportunity to use a preproduction Z5II for an afternoon photo walk along New York's High Line.
