Hello,
My wife and I purchased a D3000 years ago to take photos of our athletic son (baseball, football and basketball). We've struggled to capture consistent pictures of him during action shots. We currently have two lenses (18-55 ; 55-200). It was recommended by some friends that we could simply upgrade/purchase a new lens instead of a new camera.
Full disclosure, we don't know much about the settings but I've been learning and trying to play with the manual modes which may explain why our pics look the way they do. My wife would like to just point and shoot in an auto mode if possible. Any recommendations for a lens that could help us capture these shots? We'd like to stay in the $500 range if possible but willing to spend more if anyone has experience and can suggest one.
Appreciate any feedback. Thank you
