Just trying to figure out the best way to upgrade my current kit. Would you start by buying a new sensory since my T2i is ancient, or would you start by upgrading the lens first? Which is the most "bang for buck"?

Current gear: Canon T2i with EFS 18-135mm IS and Nifty Fifty

I find myself almost exclusively using the nifty fifty, feels like the quality of the prime lense is superior to the 18-135mm. I mainly shoot portraits of my family (may need to do some good motion ones soon since he is 5 months and will soon be moving alot)

My son is 7 months old and is always on the go. I use an old 35mm f2 non IS and a 50mm f1.8 stm all the time now.

For me, the most useful-bang for your buck- thing was getting a flash for indoor shots. I use it on my 80D and ancient 1100D (t3). I can keep the Iso low now and get good iq.

I have been thinking about getting a flash for a while now, but wasn't sure what to go with. What kind of flash would you guys recommend?
