Currently, we own the Canon 1000D + Tamron 150-600mm, but we want to upgrade the camera, and although there's not that many reviews to find on the 850D, we are wondering how the camera will work for wildlife photography (mainly squirrels, birds, deers etc.)...

Any thoughts on that? We know that the 7d2 is a very good camera for that purpose, but both are priced reasonably (used) and the 850D is newer than the 7d2, but is it better? Anyone who've tried the 850D for wildlife photography who can share us some good thoughts on it?

Hi winterwonderland,

If you live in the UK, I recommend getting you used camera gear from CEX.

Fast postage, and a 48 month guarantee.

They don't post photos of the actual camera, but everything B grade I've ordered from them has been absolutely fine.
