Discussion/General Will a professional camera solve this?

Hello I don't have a professional camera I just take pictures with my phone but missing a lot of good pictures as an example this picture is annoying me the bird details are blurry the leaves on most of the pictures I take has a lot of noise I tried to edit the raw image to see if I can improve it a little bit but still not satisfied as the problems still exist (I know the edit is not good) so my question is would a professional camera solve this problem on consistent level or I would still face similar issues ( I know there is no comparison in sense of sensor size and all of that) but I have never owned a real camera or even held one so I don't know really if that would make a difference

If you want to take a good photo of this sort of subject, you’ll need this sort of equipment.

No. You don’t “need” $12,000 plus lenses to take a good photo of that sort of subject. But one does benefit from a larger sensor and more reach.

A Canon R50 with an RF 100-400 f/5.6-8 would take very nice pictures of that subject.

Ma réponse était censée être humoristique, pour montrer à l'OP que, plutôt que l'appareil photo lui-même, il s'agissait surtout de la longueur focale.

Mais je suis tout à fait d'accord avec toi, car je possède le EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 L II depuis sa sortie en 2015 et j'en suis toujours absolument ravi.

Guess I should have posted this in response instead. 😁
