DSLR Camera Upgrade Recommendation

[Icey_]

Hey! I’m a plane spotter/ bird spotter with a Canon EOS T7 and a 75-300mm lens. Whenever I take photos they come out very noisy and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s due to my crappy gear. Any recommendations on what to upgrade? Any better cameras or lenses below $1000? My budget is around there and I’m not planning on spending a LOT of money considering this is just a hobby that I do from time to time. I usually shoot at around 1/1000-1/2000 f7.0 and around ISO100-200 and usually use around 100-200mms of zoom since at 300 the quality drops. Any recommendations?

Hi, I’ll have to weight out the pros and cons, would you have anymore recommendations for R series cameras and lenses (preferably zoom up to 300mm or more) like around 1.5k?

While the shortcomings of the EF 75-300mm series of lenses have been identified, the lenses are capable of capturing pretty good images in capable and patient hands.  

I would expect that the performance of the lens to be improved with an R series body, just like most EF lenses.  

I would also expect any of the R series bodies to have better low light performance over the T7.
