I have a long-term assignment to shoot kids fishing at several Statewide events and I have to pick a camera set-up for doing this. If budget was not an issue, I'd get a Canon 5DM4 w/ a Canon EF 24-105mm F/4L. But this is an expensive setup and probably more than I have to spend.
I would like to stick with a FF camera and in looking at refurbished, I was shocked to find that now the old 6D's ($1359) are more money than the refurbished 6DM2 ($1169). What happened?
If I want to stick with an L lens so I have the sharpest lens possible and I don't have enough for a FF, what APS-C's are better than just good? I have an older Rebel SL1 which was a pretty good camera and I see they now have an SL3? I've always been interested in the 7D-M2, but that's an expensive camera too. What APS-C Canon has a really good sensor and has fast focusing capabilities?
The photos will be printed to 4x6 and they will be used in public government websites for publicity.
Thanks.

I think prices on the refurbished site can vary, seems like 6D's were $899 recently. But you really don't need FF for 4x6, imo, unless you are using really high iso or something. Like over 6400.
I've been using a T6, which is probably pretty similar to the SL1, as far as sensor and iq. Been very happy with it. If the af seems good enough you should be able to use that, I'd think.
Was using the 18-55 for kid fishing pictures of a relative week or two ago. Also used the 55-250 & 18-135 pretty happily for kids, used 18-135 indoors & out. Probably not af champions, but that's what I've used. I think STM versions supposed to be better. I'd recommend an older flash for fill, too, been using 380 EX. Any of the older EX should be fine, I'd think. I use HSS too
