Pay $8000 for a camera. Someone has more money than brains.
I'm about 7K into my Nikon D810 and lenses and still have a wish list of lenses I'd like to have. I think this figure is pennies compared with what some on this forum spend on equipment.

The lens is the key. I shoot Nikon and recently shot a Yankee vs. Baltimore game at Yankee Stadium. I used a Nikon D500(DX) and a Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 FL. It worked well but after that, I went out and bought a Nikon 300mm f/2.8 and now I'm super happy. I don't think a full frame is necessary if Canon has a DX equivalent to the D500. Have fun.

Thanks to all for the helpful replies that I received this week. I am reaching out once more. Ok here's you assignment. 8000.00 budget you must purchase the best gear for sport shooting. Hockey and Baseball respectively. Camera body i currently have is a Canon 7dmkii. Looking for another body btw is full frame absolutely necessary? Have fun with this assignment. Thanks in advance.📷

Just wondering....anybody use the Nikon 85mm f1.8 for indoor basketball on a dx camera?

Usually the request here is to shoot indoor sports and wildlife on a budget of $600...

First, he said gear which could be a combination of lenses and a camera.and could top $8000 easily. A full frame body, a 24-70 mm f/2.8, 70-200 mm f/2.8 and a 35mm prime would do it. If you consider someone spending $8000 as having more money than brains, what budget, and what camera and lenses would you suggest for an upper limit?

This was a great reply. I do not shoot sports photography. Your reply told me about equipment that I did not know was out there. Thank you.

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A CANON: You will find that the Nikon is very different, the lenses you have will not be useful --- even putting lenses on the two cameras will not work the same way etc. etc. etc... I will not go on, but suggest that you use a Nikon for a couple of days, see if you want to be confused whenever you work--
My thoughts-- I can move easily from the D800. to the 810-- no problem, should love to have a second 810 -- the 500 is a whole 'other beast--- and it is NOT a canon--- It I were you I would put all my money on a canon--- maybe a DX , maybe not---
could not even use my grandson's canon---

Hmmmmm, think I’ll use this ploy to put together my next kit. It’s kinda like that trick Tom Sawer used to get the fence whitewashed 😉🤫

Do you already have the artistic vision and technical skill to benefit from the gear, or do you have to buy that too? Asking for a friend. 😜😜

I will just take the 8K and go on an extended road trip. I'm happy with what I have.
