First Camera for hunting/ general outdoor

[SDHunter44]

I'm looking at getting a camera to take backpack hunting and just general outdoor photos, through a little digging it seems like the OM systems om5 with the 14-150II lens is highly recommended. Does anyone have some photos with this setup they wouldn't mind sharing so I can get an idea on distance and animal size in the picture with this setup.

That setup ends up being around 6x magnification at full zoom.

When it comes to wildlife, especially birds, reach is king. You can deal with a little less aperture with some planning, but you can't make it tiny creature big in post-processing.

I wouldn't carry anything that gives me less than 400mm equivalent at the long end. My current mobile camera is Sony's aging but venerable RX10 mark 4, which offers 600mm. When I have a bear walk by 200 yards away from my stand, or something smaller come by if you are the way, I really appreciate the ability to get close.
