I'm getting my wife a DSLR camera since she wants something nicer for taking photos at my bike races, plus some general photography.
My budget is ~$800. I believe DSLR is better for fast moving shots (cycling races) and lens options. I'm thinking about buying the Canon EOS Rebel SL2 after reading the review on the site below. I see it's good for beginners and I can add a telephoto zoom lens. Also it seems to take good videos which is a plus, but not 100% required. The main purpose for this camera is to take photos of bike races. Will the "AF system only has 9 points" be an issue for this purpose? I'd hate to buy the camera only to find out it's not very good at taking that type of photo. Another option is #5 on the list which is Nikon D5600. I'm having a hard time comparing the two cameras to see which is best for my purposes. Experts: What am I missing? Which would suit my needs best? Any other options I should look at? I hope to purchase this weekend, so any feedback would be great!
