Hey Guys!

So today the wildlife didn't come together, but hey that's the way it goes sometimes!
I thought I'd take the chance to answer a question a get all the time regarding, what camera to buy when getting started in wildlife photography on a budget! I'm going to talk through the specs and features I look for in any new camera, as well as one of my top budget picks I wanted to recommend, that I've been re-testing in 2019!

As mentioned in the video when getting into wildlife photography, buying used cameras means you can get pro specs on a far more reachable budget. You guys will know I've worked with Wex for many years and so I have no worries championing their used service, a years warranty included as well as everything being checked and graded very fairly they are a great place to buy from with confidence. A couple of my top picks below for those of you looking to get into wildlife photography on a budget!
You can check the range at Wex Used here : http://tidd.ly/32d9b1cc
D3 (They pop up regularly) - http://tidd.ly/8b166a42
D3s (also simply awesome!) http://tidd.ly/c47e4c6f
