Re: Seeking advice for travel kit - London, Nairobi, short safari

I bought a Nikon D7100 and rented the 80-400. I sold the Nikon right after my trip and only lost the taxes I paid for the camera. I also used the Fuji XT-1 with the 18-55. I'm going to Namibia next year and right now own a Fuji X-E2s. I'm thinking I'm going to sell the Fuji and get a Nikon D7200 and rent the 80-400 again. I'll probably buy a used D7100 with the 16-85. That's the benefit of Nikon, easy to rent those zooms. None of the local stores rent out the Fuji 100-400. If they did I might be tempted to keep my Fuji.

Although, to be honest, I find I prefer the Nikons for wildlife when it comes to colour. I prefer the more neutral colour which I can fix in LR as I shoot raw.
