Is the nikon d6 good for wildlife?

The D6 is a solid choice for wildlife, mainly because it's a full frame flagship DSLR with a 20.8-megapixel sensor. Wildlife is hard and very gear-dependent, so the lens matters more than the body. The D6 has no in-body stabilisation, so pick a stabilised lens for slow shutter speeds. Good options from the catalogue include:

• Nikon AF-S 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR, a flexible everyday wildlife zoom
• Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports, for reaching far with one lens
• Nikon AF-S 300mm f/4E PF ED VR, a prime if you want sharpness and a lighter setup

If long lenses are new territory, buying used is an easy way to try one.
