I'm re-evaluating the gear that I currently have and feel that I want to add a body and 100-400 lens to my equipment arsenal.
Now this body would be dedicated to this lens, I have no other lens requirements. I think I'm looking for FF, though I might get persuaded for an APSC solution. The main functions of this gear would be for longer focal length landscapes and motorsport, so I'm interested in reasonable resolution 20MP minimum, fast burst speed shooting (though not at horrendous speeds), fast AF with potentially some form of tracking. It also needs to be weather sealed. Weight isn't a desperate consideration, I'm not going far with this kit and have a fancy Benro monopod to ease my weak arms during a day trackside.
I have a max budget (around £2.5K - this would have to include any spare batteries and alternative memory cards other than UHS-II) but would happily settle for spending a lot less. Am happy to buy pre-loved kit.
At this budget is there a mirrorless solution, or would I be better going old skool and getting a DSLR?
Obviously I can google and use search functions, which generally throws up Canons with the EF100-400ii (from a 7Dii up to a second user R6) - am I missing something? I'm open to any manufacturer's gear.
