[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 505827, member: 25183"] It's called using what you have. The OP is talking about which body to utilise his 150-600mm with. In most cases D7100 for wildlife but no matter what lens you put on it, it won't perform as well in low light as a D750. Believing that a lens can make a D7100 a great low light camera is a pipe dream. In any case 80-200mm isn't enough, even on a crop sensor for most wildlife photography. Unless you are a professional making money from your work or have more money to throw at a hobby than most have, anything in the region of 300mm upwards and f/2.8 is going to be out of budget. At best I can afford a 300mm f/4 (probably with 1.4XTC so f/5.6), the 200-500 f/5.6 or one of the 150-600mm, none of which are ideal for low light. A body that performs better in low light won't change that but it can certainly help. Will you admit, or do you even realise that, which camera is better depends entirely upon what you intend to use it for? Hell my basic GoPro Hero with 5mp images is a better camera if I want to take photos whilst I'm canyoning or something like that. [/QUOTE]
