For long-distance photography, mainly on ponds, I bought an Olympus OM-1 Mark II camera body and the OM System M.Zuiko ED 150–600 mm f/5–6.3 IS lens, which has the biggest zoom available. Olympus cameras have smaller sensors, which results in higher noise at higher ISOs. However, this shouldn't be as much of a problem outdoors as it would be indoors. This mirrorless camera also has excellent image stabilisation. The main thing, though, is that the crop factor compared to full frame is 2x, i.e. I have a 1200 mm lens overshot to 'cine film'.
