What is the difference between Nikkor AF-S and AF-P?

AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM). AF-P lenses use a “Pulse” motor or “Stepping” autofocus motor and are even quieter and smoother to autofocus than an AF-S lens, making these lenses ideal when shooting video with a DSLR.

Is 70-300mm lens good for wildlife photography?

It’s a great lens for wildlife, especially on DX (crop sensor) Nikon bodies where it yields an equivalent focal length of 105-450mm. It is light and relatively small, which is helpful if you are panning with flying birds, or otherwise needing to hold it up for long stretches.
