Thank you Tom, Here is what I am going to do as of today..see what you think. I am taking my t3i in for a good cleaning and I am going to buy the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM, refurbished, and play with that on a clean camera to see if I can achieve what I am looking for. The lens was well recommended on here and all the reviews I read on all the different sites gives it very high marks. This is not what I even considered because I didn't now enough about it but once I learned about it - it all makes sense.As for shooting, I always shot JPEG because until a year ago I really didn't know about RAW. So over the last year whenever I go out to get something important I do shoot RAW, unfortunately haven't had much time to play in the pp yet.

Just to reinforce your decision, here is a shot with the 70-300 IS II nano @ 300mm and f5.6 on an 80D handheld......The IQ and AF are awesome for a $500 lens ! - And my frame of reference is having used the Canon 300mm f2.8.
