I just returned from a trip to South Africa, and have the following suggestions.
You will be taking two types of pictures - Safari and everything else. For non-safari such as street, scenes, etc what you have is sufficient.
For Safari, you need two things in the lens - no lens changes, and zoom up to at least 300 (i.e. 450 equivalent for D3200). For Nikon lens, you might consider at the very least (in order of preference); 28-300, 18-300, or 55-300. Of course there are better, more expensive, and longer reach lenses besides these ones.

I also use Paintshop Pro Ultimate and find it satisfies all my needs.
I also use PSP with Faststone. They work well together.
To start with I suggest you download and use the free Faststone viewer/editor. It provides basic editing functions such as batch, crop, brightness/sharpen, etc. It gets you started on the photo editing process.

Annie,
These are shot around 10-15 feet from them. My camera is Nikon D750, with Nikon 28-300mm lens. You can get the details from the EXIF data if you download the pictures.
In my neighborhood the Sandhill Cranes are not at all concerned about people. So I hang around for 20 minutes taking pictures while being ignored. I chose these with over 100 shots.

My daughter and I have shot many sandhill cranes but haven't gotten any as impressive as yours. I showed her your post and she asked how far or how close you were from
them and what camera you used. Would appreciate getting this information, dyleel

I am thinking about going from J1 to J5 as well, so I am interested in your follow ups.
Maybe you should also check color control settings I.e. Vivid, Standard, etc.

It is a little bit more complicated. You have to consider crop factor and effective focal lengths as well.
D3400 is an aps-c camera and has a smaller sensor. Crop factor is 1.5. Effective focal lengths of 70-300 become 105-450. Zoom is then around 4.5.
p900 has a much smaller sensor. Sensor size is 28.07mm2. Compare that to a FX camera - 36*24mm or 864mm2. It also has focal length 4.3 to 357mm, or equivalent focal lengths of 24-2000mm. But the crop factor in this case is a big number.
