I dont want to be unhelpful but is it possible that you have actually bought the flagship camera as you call it and a half decent zoom lens and assumed that the combination would make up for bad technique or lack of understanding, it is fact is very likely you are the weak link and the kit is getting the blame, you never post images and we dont care if they are good or bad but no one on here can help if indeed that is what you want? I actually think you are calling us out on our results so let me point out it is you that is unhappy, plenty of people have your combo and seem to make it work, the question on camera to subject distance may in fact not be an issue as you say you have no idea on that, well one metre is approximately 39.5 inches so 3.3 feet roughly in American, and 200 metres is roughly 659 feet, this I do all day long for my job and can switch between the two in my sleep I believe an American football pitch is about 360 feet but I could be wrong, this at least might help youThe OP talked about distances of 200 - 300 meters and implied they got sharp results "some people say they do not get decent results at that range". In my reply I indicated I do NOT get sharp results at long distances, but DON'T KNOW the precise distances - whether 200 meters or closer. Which was when the "legendary member" followed with:
And THAT would be why it matters... What I'd HOPE TO GAIN is a better understanding of the range at which the camera/lens combination STOPS being effective.
