Re: Canon t6 (3.5 fps and 9af points) for wildlife

I have a Rebel T5.  Shot a marathon a number of years ago with a 55-250MM STM Canon lens.  Long story very shot, my results with the AF system (which is spec'ed identically between the T5 and T6) were bad.  The buffer fills quickly, the AF cannot keep up with the runners and the AF points are spaced far enough apart that runners fall in between focus points.  Lastly, there is NO autofocus adjustments that can be made with the camera to improve tracking, unlike higher end Canon models.

In short, I got some good shots, but many were just out-of-focus wastes of card space that ended their lives in the recycle bin.
