Canon T7 or T7i?

[jburch921]

Hello I'm thinking of upgrading my Canon t3 to a Canon t7 or t7i.  Which of these two do you think would be a better options for sports action pictures?   Are night game pictures improved with either of these camera choices?

I also have a 300mm lense, will I still be able to use it on either of these cameras? 

I have to tell you, I have taken literally thousands of pictures at sporting events, being the team picture taker and I loved my t3, but I think it's time to upgrade. 

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.  Oh and I'm on a budget, that's why I'm looking at those two Canon options.

Thank you

Since you need to stick with APS-C body to use your EF-S lenses the T8i or  90D would be an appropriate upgrade path.

Almost the same advice as the OP, the T8i is the choice. The 90D is a SUPER upgrade if you consider nothing more than just the more robust build of the camera. Any lens that worked on your T6i will work on a T8i or 90D.

"Do any of you ever use these..."

Never, ever use them.  With post editors like Photoshop, or almost any lesser or even free post editors, they make filters almost obsolete. The possible exception is the ND and polarizer. Even than an experience person using PS can do just about everything those filters can.

I don't consider the protecto filter a real filter in the sense of manipulating the light as it serves another function.

Thank you Rick.  I took your advise and bought the T8i.  I'm still waiting for it to arrive, I can't wait to check it out and see what it can do.  Any advise on settings for night sport games?

"Any advise on settings for night sport games?"

Can't give you exact settings and no one else can either without being there. However, there are some things to avoid and some to do.

Stay away from the green square or any full auto mode (100%) along with P mode.  Av mode will be your best friend with a high ISO number. And most important always shoot Raw, never jpg. Post process in Canon's free DPP4.
