How good is this camera and lens for action photography?

I know youre going to say its not the camera its the photographer, but i need to make sure this shoots good for fast moving objects.

Im a beginner and i like action photography, like soccer, baseball and skateboarding. Is this a good camera to start off with?

Is this a good lens to begin with for sports?

I have a cousin that plays soccer, one that plays baseball and a good friend that plays football and i would like to start shooting for their games. Is that a good enough setup?(If you recommend a different lens at that price range or maybe just a little more expensive, let me know).

And these are the ones that i really want once i get a higher paying job.



Don’t know about football but I’ve shot plenty of soccer. The 55-200 will do but see if somehow you can’t find the money for the 55-300 or better yet, the 70-300

    I have a Sigma 70-300 and the quality is great, I would have thought 300 mm would be great for you, b
