Hi,
I hope I've posted this in the right place.
I've been trying to take photos of my baby/toddler (now 16 months old) with mixed results. I am using a Canon 60D with 50mm 1.8 lens usually or if not a 28mm 1.8 lens.
I have a lot of problems getting the pictures in focus, I tend to use high speed continuous shooting with AI servo and just the centre focus point for focusing. Being a toddler, she moves about a lot so it's hard to get the focus correct especially as she is often moving towards me when I'm taking a picture.
What I'd like to know is would I be likely to get better results (i.e. more photos in focus) if I upgraded the camera (to an 80D or a 7D mark ii for example) and/or to a better lens? Or is it just my technique that needs improving? Or is it just normal to only get a small proportion of pictures with a moving subject in focus and I should just accept this?
Thanks for your help.
