First of all , congrats to both your kids and your agility and enthusiasm.

Few thoughts:

- IS won’t help you with sports

- if you like to have all-in-one , stay with the iphone

- your dslr body is fine, yet the 80D combo is good choice

- in your shoes, I would keep the SL1 and shop for speedy ( L class ) tele zoom ( again, no IS needed)

If I was going to get quicker glass and stay in the zoom family I think I would get something that went to 400mm.  Or should I stay at 300mm max.  Sometimes I cannot get as close as I would like across the football field.  Also would like to use the lens indoors too.

Any recommendations on Tamron vs Sigma vs Canon?
