My only camera, coming from the film days, now is a little Rebel XSI kit setup. I want to upgrade to a good telephoto for wildlife, birds, etc and am looking at the Canon and Tamron 70-200 for the fixed aperture and focal length - would probably add a 1.4 converter.
Is it a silly idea to ad an good lens like these to this little camera? Which is recommended?
Thanks

Well, the 7D Mark II, obviously, although at this point you may want to wait for the Mark III. And it's sort of on the border between mid-range and professional, in both quality and price.
But the 80D is a fine choice by all accounts. (I've never used one, so I can't give a personal testimonial.) Every now and then, Canon comes up with a real winner in the n0D series. The 50D was one, and it's probably fair to say that the 80D is one too.
