Post Body

I've done my research and am looking for a few last thoughts before I pull the trigger. These are the two setups I am considering:

Canon 7D Mark II with Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens - All in @ $2850

Nikon D500 with Tamron AF-70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD IF - All in @ $2666

My max budget is $2850 (technically a little lower but will push it to that) so I am restricted to that amount. The primary purpose for the setup is shooting my daughter's soccer games (outdoor and indoor seasons). I borrowed an F4 setup and it worked fine for outdoors but left a lot to be desired when shooting indoor games.

Thoughts? I am an enthusiast, not a pro and wouldn't be doing a lot of post-production modification of the images. Thanks in advance.
