I know this feel. Wife and I were going over budget and realized we spent 1300 in the past month in groceries and eating out

Oh and this here is an absolutely magic lens, though it's not as good at wildlife photography

Anyway I'm not saying you can't take a good picture with the lens you have. What I'm saying is once you learn what you're doing and truely know how to take a good picture you'll realize the limitations of what you have. There will also be so many pictures you could "see" but not actually take due to these limitations or realise image quality isn't as good as it could have been

See you'd think it's very similar but the image quality between these two lenses is crazy, not to mention the much more open aperature and vibration reduction. It would be like comparing a true carpenters tools to the plastic little tyke ones

This would be the ideal wildlife lens for your camera imo

Honestly if you want to excel at that sort of photography you're going to need a high end telephoto lens. I'd consider a 70-200 2.8 a bare minimum and even that is lacking. Here are pics I took with my 70-200 2.8 with a telephoto extender.

Ultimately if you do save up for a pro wildlife lens go for the 100-400 though the 70-200 has a ton more utility

For the cameras I use I try to avoid exceeding 1600 except in special cases. I also use high level lenses though. You could probably go up to 3200 and use Lightroom to correct

1. I been trying different random settings, so far Shutter Priority with an ISO of 2200 or less seems to be good, but I also notice that I don't really need 1/8000 shutter, 1/550 is good enough, especially with a little bit of extra exposure.
2. I have been shooting in dual-jpg which takes a RAW and a JPG at the same time
3. IDK how to even

Watch a quick Lightroom tutorial it's pretty easy. Try messing with some of your RAW images. Lightroom even has an auto setting that gets pretty close. If you're going to have a fancy dslr make sure you learn to use it or else it's no better than a cell phone

In regards to your lens, you'll get a sharper image if you use a higher Iso and faster shutter speed. Images will be a little grainy but Lightroom can fix that.

Some recommendations from me

1. Learn to shoot full manual mode. It's tough at first but you'll get such a greater understanding of your camera and how it works and take such better pictures

2. Shoot in RAW

3. Use a program like Lightroom to change the various values and help make your images look how they truely should. Jpeg out of camera are terrible compare to what they could be

Upper and middle class wages are increasing but lower class wages are not. Because of this inflation will continue to rise but people in a lower economic class will not be able to keep up and whenever they try to get higher wages they are told "we can't do that. It would cause inflation!"

Perhaps if the lower classes had a limit to how poor they can be then this wouldn't be a problem!
