Re: Taking pics of dancers in a ballroom

Peter63 and Alastair, many thanks for taking your time to answer. So your recommendations are:

* Either get a modern mirrorless like the M5 / M6, or a DSLR and use the viewfinder. In the last case, any suggestion about the minimum DSLR that will do the job? A 100D, a 750D or do I have to go higher? (the 7D mark II is a bit expensive for me...)

* Regardless of camera body, use a faster focusing lens. From your recommendations, it would have to be the EF 50 mm 1.8 STM or the EF 85 mm 1.8, since I want to keep at a certain distance from the dancers... (22 mm or 35 mm is too close to them and makes them unconfortable).

Best regards!
