Best budget beginner camera and lenses

[cameras13]

Background: Im a 15 year old boy who plays basketball but wants to start taking photos for jh boys and girls basketball games and highschool boys football games, so I think I want good tracking, I know I want good battery and good photo quality , and I know I want good build quality, also I like the flip out articulating screens. I will be buying used from MPB or from anywhere else recommened I have a budget for camera and a lense of around 500 plus I would like to be under actually a great deal under closer to 400 for basketball I’ll be courtside but may be in stands at away games for football I’ll be on bleachers so I need reach for that but close up for the courtside

1. I looked at a Canon Eos Rebel T6i a T7or a Canon 60d or a Canon 7d keep in mind what I said I liked earlier

2. For lenses I have no clue where to start I think like a Canon EF 55-250 or a Canon EF 55-200 but I don’t know if I need the Is or the Is ll or the Is STM remember budget when recommending both

What do you mean by "good tracking"?  If you mean ability to follow the action, that's a YOU function, not a camera function. Do some reading on action photography and sports photography to learn good techniques. Cameras have settings to follow-focus moving subjects (like AI-Servo focus mode on Canons) but there's more to it than that.

Practice, practice, practice!
