Please explain. What's your experience with either of those cameras? I take thousands of "wildlife" pictures with my Canon T7i (800D) camera which is similar to the Canon T8i (850D) camera. Both are very capable of taking photos in the wild. There's advantages and disadvantages to both cameras. I didn't want to list all of them because that's available on the internet for those that want to research it. If someone just likes to take photos of birds in flight and that's their main interest in wildlife photography, then yes a camera with a better AF system would be preferred.

Here's one of thousands taken during a partially cloudy day. Because of COVID I rarely go to the zoo, so I must find them in the wild.
