I wish I was still 'in the game' and could give you up-to-date advice but that is very much not the case. I am still using a 5Dmkii which is basically an antique! I also had a 7D for a while which seemed like a decent low budged equivalent, but like I said it's been a while and there are likely many other options now. Mostly I would say it is about the lens. You can't get a good shot from a bad lens on a great camera but you can get a good shot from a bad camera with a great lens. My number one lens is a 24mm f1.4 which has a beautiful depth of field. Sadly mine has been broken since a certain baby dropped it from a balcony in Bali ;)

OMG, a lens balcony jump! 😱😂

I'm using this zoom and I find it practical.

Only I have doubts about image stabilisation on photos: in my opinion, it doesn't do any good!

Zooms are practical but the best lenses are primes. These permit lower f numbers and more depth of field. Your image stabiliser should be very helpful to you as a photographer. Perhaps it needs repair? This can happen when the lenses get old.

The other night I took several pictures of the full moon and didn't get a single decent one: maybe it's the simple movement of the mirror that I have to study how to prevent by locking it in position before the exposure?

I'll try to buy brighter lenses... thanks Sam for your interesting advice and thoughts!
