Is the nikon d7500 good for wildlife?
The D7500 is a good wildlife body, mainly because its 1.5x crop gives you extra reach for the money. It has no in-body stabilisation, so pick a stabilised lens (the VR or OS names in the list below). Three telephoto options that fit it:
- Nikon AF-S 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR: like 300-750mm on full frame, a strong all-round wildlife pick.
- Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports: like 225-900mm, for when you need the most reach.
- Nikon AF-S 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR: like 120-600mm, a more versatile option.
Wildlife is demanding, so read wildlife and sport first, and consider buying used to try a long lens cheaply.
