I'm looking for your thoughts up upgrading my photo equipment. I'm an amateur photographer, taking photos of son's soccer team and daughter's cheerleading. I currently own a Nikon D90 with a Nikon 18-200 and I've missed so many shots because of low light on the field or the gym. I've been researching for about 1 year on my next setup. I think it should be a Nikon D500....I have looked closely at the D750. There's the whole debate about full frame vs crop-sensor. Most photographers I talk to at the outdoor games, as well as the indoor games, tell me I need a 2.8 lens to get the shots I really want. With the D500, I'm thinking of getting:
Tamron f2.8 70-200 G2
Tamron f2.8 24-70 G2
The Nikon lenses are out of my reach and the reviews of both Tamron lenes seem really good. Since I also like to take portait photos of the kids(home-coming dance, Prom, etc), I've thought about getting an 85mm prime. Since the D500 is a crop-sensor DSLR, I would set my 24-70 to about 56mm to come close to the 85mm, and I think that would work. I also love photography on family vacations, so I'm thinking of a teleconverter for the 70-200. Maybe down the road, I might look for a wide-angle lens. My current single lens does everything; why couldn't it be f2.8?.....and, sharper images?
What do you think about the D500 and the two lens? I'm open to any suggestions you have.
Thanks, Tom
