Might help to say what kind of wildlife you're seeing and how long.

Is it worth considering renting instead of buying?

Definitely should have mentioned. I am taking a quarter at one of my Universities lab facilities taking a course on Marine Mammals were we make multiple observation trips. My expectations are Sea Lions, Harbor Porpoises (Which give you a few seconds at most to get a shot) Orcas and Gray Whales. There aren't any camera rental places nearby, and as this is over the course of three months I imagine renting would cost just as much as or more than buying
