For wildlife photography
Canon EOS R7 Mirrorless Camera w/RFs 18-150mm lens kit + freebies
Edwin Teoh: Canon's latest addition to their mirrorless range of cameras is an excellent option for budding wildlife photography enthusiasts looking to capture great wildlife shots. This APS-C or cropped sensor mirrorless camera means that the edges of your photos are cropped, giving a tighter field of view. This helps to extend the reach of your zoom lenses due to an in-built crop factor which is very handy when snapping photos of wildlife from a distance.
