Should I invest in a better camera body or lense?


I have a ~$2000 budget for camera gear and my shots will mostly be for a local newsletter. I want the ability to shoot all kinds of shots from sports (which may need telephoto) to portraits (which would benefit from high aperture lenses).

Assuming I wanted to go Canon, i'm thinking of investing in a mid-range DSLR camera body (like a 70D) and maybe a cheap telephoto lense to go along with the kit lense. Or I could buy a lower-tier body (like a T5i) and go with a better walkaround lense instead, or maybe even a ~50mm prime and a better telephoto.

What are your thoughts?
