Trying to surprise my girlfriend with new camera or a new lens. She has the Canon T6 with the kit lens, a Telephoto Sigma 75-200 and a Canon 10-18 wide angle.

Was wondering whether to get her another lens or a new body. I see that most of the forums or reviews suggest the Canon EOS 80D. I know ow she would like to take more moving pics of motocross racing as well and auto racing.

Please help a Noobie and boyfriend 😁

While not as full-featured as an 80D, the T6 is plenty capable of producing great photos. If those are the only 2 lenses she has then there's a gaping hole to fill in the wide-normal focal lengths that are most used.

Usual suspects (depending on budget) are:

EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 IS STM - small, light, and inexpensive, but with good optical performance.

EF-S 15-85 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM - wider range for less lens swapping, great optics (was my choice)

EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM - more expensive, but wider f/2.8 max. aperture throughout the zoom range.

IMHO, YMMV
