Have been using a now very old HDR-FX7 and would like to update, however have found DSLR (Canon 7D) to be not so great with focus on fast moving objects / light changes / multiple things happening in frame.

The FX7 has served me very well for the last 6+ years, shot draws full of tapes, however it is way past its expiry date now. Any recommendations?
