Wildlife lens for EOS Rebel T7

Hi, I have recently been into wildlife photography. I purchased the canon rebel t7 kit with the 75 to 300mm lens. It was good at first but then I started wanting sharper images, faster autofocus, image quality, and less chromatic aberration. Do you know if there are any lenses that would attach to the canon t7 that have the things listed and be able to take some sharp action shots of wildlife. I would also like a lens with 300mm or more. My budget would preferably be under 300usd. Thanks so much

I have the budget of an unemployed 15 year old. I done have much time. I am going on a trip early this spring an I wont have the time to save up.

Listen buddy, thanks for the info but you aren’t much of a help to me. I clearly stated that my budget was 300 USD and if you wont listen, I might have to block you. Good day sir. Cheers from Australia

Download DPP4 from Canon. It is free. Learn to use it and you will see a huge improvement in your wildlife photos.

This is lightyear's way better idea and course of action then a $300 dollar lens.

Oh and be sure to change your file format in the Rebel T7 to large Raw. Never use jpeg again.

Good luck then.  Just because you don't like the current set of answers on this thread, doesn't mean they are incorrect.

Some of the new AI powered photo apps have the capability for upsizing images. You can download free trials and see if they will work for you. 

As Ernie pointed out, none if the $300 options you are looking at will do anything more rhan waste your money.

Dude i said my budget was 350. Are you seriously putting me in the wrong? You recommended me a 2000 dollar lens

I think you have received all the replies you are going to get from us. Do as you wish and good luck.

Nowhere did I recommend a $2,000 lens.  My original post stated "Unless you go used, $300 is not going to get you longer focal lengths than 300mm."

i.e. if you want a focal length beyond 300mm and can only spend $300, you'll need to find a used lens.  The other prices I had listed out was to point out a few examples of new lens prices where focal length can reach above 300mm (to show perspective on why $300 wasn't enough if wanting a new lens).

Even if you raise your budget to $350, my original statements still apply.
