I use a Canon EOS R7 with their 100-400 zoom lens. (Not the L series; had that and sold it … too heavy.)

KEH on Smyrna is a great source for used equipment. Have bought and sold a lot of stuff from them since the late 80s. www.keh.com.

kenrockwell.com is great site to research. He has tons of reviews.

Hi All,

We're looking for a DSLR, new or used, for bird IDing. Budget is $500
including lens.

Not sure that we need WiFi, image stabilization or mirrorless.

I'm thinking 200-300 mm telephoto lens. Something light in weight.

TIA for any recommendations.

Ted & Shally
