Good evening, all.
Just a newbie here looking for some advice, I'm looking to upgrade my camera/lenses. Currently i have a canon EOS 1100D which I purchased some 10+ years ago as a kit (75-300mm zoom lens plus a smaller standard lens).
My interests are nature photography and gundogs. I have taken pictures at gundog working tests and Field trials that I host. I am finding I get some fairly good shots and like most some not so good or blurred. I'm assuming due to not being able to focus fast enough on a moving object (mainly using the cameras auto settings). If I'm feeling adventurous, I sometimes switch to the "sport mode" with varying results.
I was really hoping for some advice on purchasing a suitable "used" lens & camera body. I have spoken to a friend who has suggested a good all-round lens would be a Canon F2.8 70-200mm lens and maybe a canon 5Dmk4? What are people's thoughts on this? Do you have any other suggestions that may help.
Thank you in advance.
