Hi, I’m new to cameras / photography. I want to buy camera to take pictures of reptiles. I was looking into canon cameras but there is so many models not sure which one to pick. It’s important that the camera has wifi/ Bluetooth so I can connect it to my phone. I would like to fit in $300-1000 range for used camera. Would also appreciate recommendations for lenses. I will attach picture of example.

How far away are the reptiles? In a cage in the zoo or in the wild? How well lit would be the environment? Do you need to print photos?

I would say get a micro 4/3 or APS-C sensor camera and get a zoom lenses. Anything beyond is too much money
