There's so many different combinations of cameras and lenses to choose for wildlife. I'm using a Canon T3i (600D) camera with a Tamron 150-600mm G1 lens. I'm looking to upgrade my camera, but I hesitate a little because the 18mp Canon T3i still does a good job. Here's a photo I got yesterday at 552mm focal length. The more focal length, the better. I say that because I still find myself often cropping the images to get closer.

This is a male wood duck taken under cloudy skies in the Portland, Oregon area.

And yes...Happy New Year.

That wood duck photo is spectacular!  I agree the T3i is a good camera and I hate to let it go.  In fact, I'm considering using the T3i with the landscape lens and using the new camera with the zoom.  That way I don't have to change lenses, which can be inconvenient when time is of the essence.  I've heard good things about your Tamron lens.  I try to avoid that heft, but it obviously takes excellent photos.
