Is the sony a7s good for wildlife?

The a7S can work for wildlife, but I wouldn't pick it for that. It's a 12.2-megapixel full frame body with no stabilisation in the camera, so you'll want a stabilised lens for slow shutter speeds. Those 12 megapixels also leave little room to crop in on a distant bird. Wildlife and sport is the hardest kind of photography, and the lens does most of the work, so the lens matters more than the body here.

If you want to try it anyway, these stabilised telephotos from the a7S list are the ones I'd look at:

• Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS
• Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports
• Sony FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS

Lenses like these are easier to afford used, and buying used explains why they hold their value well.
