Primarily, I have always shot with a mobile camera. Whilst I felt the need for normal point and shoot photography is well handled by my trusted devices -- A Nokia 808 Pureview, an Yotaphone and a Note 4, there was ONE place where I felt completely lacking ---- ZOOMING.
Agreed that I have the BEST possible mobile when coming to zooming, but that is not actually useful when the subject is a bird or an insect.
So, I got, the budget constrained myself, into a middle ground. Not something like a small pocketable zoom cam (c'mon, I have a f**king Nokia 808) or had adequate Vitamin M to get an SLR. Also, since am a complete noob in cameras, handling an SLR to get a good potential from it is almost a cipher chance for me. The mirrorless systems also costs an arm and a leg.
So, I got a bridge camera. A basic entry level bridge camera.
The Nikon B500. No evf is a bummer but I got it pretty cheap, so won't complain.
The prime idea is to accilmatize myself with the controls, functions and the likes of a camera before jumping guns on an SLR. Plus the zoom range of this camera (900mm telephoto in 35mm equiv.) would mean a lens costing much more than both my kidneys together. So, for now, this pesky li'l blog has a new donor for the photos - The Nikon B500.

Achyut.
