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...

Despite of the gear: be creative for the sake of interesting details for other parents: who can recognize  if the helmet or stressed face pic was taken in the diamond  offside ? Definitely I prefer to shoot  on the rehearsal instead of premiere.
