No its a crop sensor if you're going to spend that sort of money get a used full frame like a 6d or 5d mk 3 |

I just recently bought the Nikon D500 and I'm really impressed with it. I did consider a full frame but as I shoot primarily sports I thought the D500 was more suited. Its a massive jump from my D300 which is now my spare. |

Op what sort of photographs do you take. Is it for hobby or bigger things?
Do you own or used canon in the past. I ask because as you see above you do have other choices. Don't just jump because it looks like a bargain. In fact never buy new. Look at excellent condition used or mint condition used. I go to shops to look at and get the feel for the item. Then I look for a better price. |

For wildlife photos - the crop sensir gives you 60% more lens. I have lots of canon glass so swapping isn't viable.
I have a 5d for my landscape /portrait work and 50d for wildlife/aircraft
The 5d3 is an extra grand. 5d4 an extra 2 grand
The 7d2 is very tempting at that price with all the goodies. |

I'd forget the goodies nothing there that you can't get online cheap. Look at Park cameras, camera jungle.
At the end of the day it's your money. I can understand that the crop might help but all you need is a 1.5x teleconverter and save a shed loads of money (I know you will lose some f stop. I've been using this on my 70-200 with good results.) I use. A 50d at work and it's not a bad bit of kit. I own a 60d for when I want a crop sensor. I'd probably look at saving some money and get the 80d as a replacement for the 50d. Trade in and save from the sites I mentioned. |

I've got a 1.4x but you lose autoficus on a f5.6 with the 1.4 unless you have a 1d body I believe.
I have little need for HD video. I don't like swivel displays after having had bad experiences in the past
Im wary of grey imports and the possibility of not being supported when I need repairs or servicing |
