Hello.
I've always found it frustrating that a lot of photos need work on sharpening etc to get a decent photo, and also and probably more so, the amount of missed focus on shots, when doing aviation/airshow photography.
I have a Canon 450d, EF 50mm f1.8, and an old 300mm Canon L 4.0.
Am I being too hopeful that a newer camera would dramatically improve my in focus success rate, and also, out of the camera provide better images, without the need to touch them?
I take a lot of phone photos, and enjoy the hassle free nature of it, but the photos aren't great when viewed larger of course, did start thinking about a decent compact, but i'd miss the flexibility with lenses I think, but would be great to carry around on an outing and get vastly better photos than a phone camera.
But I have also been look at Canon 80D's, £350-450 ish s/h, they get a good write up and have much better AF then mine i'm sure.
I don't mind editing images, if its to change the look considerably, but I don't really want to sit and edit a whole stack with subtle changes to get a good image, though I did set some templates up to sort of auto apply, in DarkTable, but it was a bit faffy.
Long rambling post, any thoughts, ideas would be great. Thanks a lot
