Looking at your great pics, what exactly makes you unsatisfied with your current setup ?

Anyway, I was told by my family and friends: only you see that problems, we don’t.

At 300mm. Things break down and on the football field or baseball diamond I need that length or even more. I’d like to be able to get some cool helmet shots or zoom in on faces and feel I don’t have the reach right now. I also am only shooting in jpeg with a file size of approx 8mb. Also not using Lightroom or photoshop just the windows photo tool for cropping and slight enhancements. Open to all suggestions on settings or equipment to get the most bang for the buck. I’m just a dad who wants to grab great moments my kids will appreciate down the road...

Oh my, shoot in RAW and/ or do not limit the jpeg resolution! Crop is your friend!

You can make the small jpg from that, not vice versa. No need for LR or PS , great Canon software is included with your camera.

I was mistaken: it you wan to shoot a helmet on a footbal field, don’t sell your car  but the house. (Sorry, if you are a billionaire :-))
