Which used Canon Camera body should I go for in a 50,000 Budget?

[ssablania]

I do wildlife photography, and currently, I'm using a Sigma 150-600mm lens with a Canon 1300D body and it's safe to say that the lens is too much for the body. It struggles to autofocus because I can't take flight shots of birds. Also, because of the low FPS, I've always struggled to get the shot I planned. So, kindly suggest the used body I should look out for on the forum within 50,000 rupees. Thank you!

Your choices within this budget in order of preference are -

Crop Bodies -

• One of the X0 D Bodies (50D, 70D, 80D, 90D). Avoid the 60D as it is missing AF microadjustment.
• a 7D or a 7D mk II
• Any of the 1D bodies, depending on the resolution that you need and weight you are willing to carry.

Full Frame -

• Anything from 5D mk3 or mk4 onwards. A 5D mk4 in good shape will likely exceed your budget, though.
• 1Ds mk III (incredible camera, the images are quite special). You could even shoot with a 1.4x Kenko TC on the 150-600, although with much reduced AF speeds. Again, a good piece may exceed your budget.

In short, get a 7D if you want to stick to Canon. Get a 7D II if you find a good piece in your budget.

Hi there! Thanks for your suggestion. I really appreciate it. Also, I just wanted to ask if you have anything for sale that matches my criteria. If yes, then kindly let me know here or in the personal message section. Thanks!

A used 90D or 7D Mark II will work well for you ...
