Thanks for the suggestion. I'm considering that one. What do you think about this lens? Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens The downside is it has no image stabilization.

A good suggestion but make sure that you get the STM version of the 55-250
I would not recommend that lens. The newer EF 70-300 II NanoUSM is quite good for about $550 new.

I had that one more than a decade ago. Mostly useless for wildlife. Also, it took long to focus and requires higher ISO.

This author reviewed the 55-250mm and compared it to the 70-200 f/4 and the 70-300 f/4-5.6.

It didn't seem like he was too impressed, but he was also not reviewing the STM version of the 55-250.
The other two lenses are also somewhat higher in price.
Think I'll stick with the 55-250 STM.

He was not reviewing the newer version of the EF 70-300II NanoUSM, which is a better optic
Someone tried to give me one last year, just out of curiosity, I tried it. It is universally awful.
That's what I've decided to go with. Thanks guys for your help!
For a Canon Rebel DSLR? How many thousands of pictures do you take in a day? We can use ours for days without recharging. It’s not a mirrorless.

. Someone I know said Nikon is better than Canon. What do you guys think? I'm just excited for my new camera to arrive so I can test it out
Yes, Nikon has better autofocus even in lower level models. A used D200/D300/D700 is good and cheap.
Canon is also good enough if your don’t take many photos of moving objects.
The 18-55 kit lens with this T7 is excellent and will serve the OP very well. It may be the STM version which is a bit improved over the EF-S II version. The poster can add the inexpensive and outstanding 55-250 for $200 new if more reach is needed.

The STM version of this lens is very good.

I was referring to the 75-300, not the 70-300II which is the NanoUSM version. That is the one referred to in the Dustin Abbott link. I have never seen a 70-300 STM, maybe Canon made one long ago?
