Camera question

For sunrise/sunset portraits, I would pick up a fixed 50mm 1.8 for less than $150 and it will give you shots that will be amazing.

Keep in mind that a long zoom lens will be best with good light. I haven’t bought a lens in years and I’m sure the cameras have made up for shooting longer zooms with higher iso ranges.

Back in the day a Canon 70-200 “L” was a reasonably priced zoom and still might be good. Buying a Canon L lens with a fixed length and zooming with your feet is always an option (and cheaper).

For reference, I still use a Canon 30D that I bought waaay back when and my 50mm 1.8 and a Sigma zoom (off hand can’t remember the zoom range - but it’s not much).

I was just an enthusiast who spent way too much time on photography forums. I’m curious to hear what some of our experts hear chime in with too.

The lens shopping gets expensive quick.
