I run it to an issue at baseball games and bright days when I’m trying to stop action.

Are you still getting overexposure even at ISO 100? For stopping action, 1/4000 is usually plenty fast enough. Are you still getting subject motion blur at this SS?

I just ask because you choices get very limited (and more costly) if you want that extra stop.

My Biggest problem is shooting at the beach and blowing out the sky. I shoot raw.

The new sensors will give you an additional stop of dynamic range (at ISO 100). Every increase in ISO will cut into your dynamic range though, so keep it low whenever you can.

Also, shooting with the sun at your back will serve to light your subjects better (decreasing your exposure). Shooting at this angle also means that you’ll be shooting into the darkest part of the (blue) sky.

You could also mount a polarizer. Or a graduated neutral density filter.

Best of luck!
