I need a good camera for sports photography and for photos of people who walk around, which is best?


I have used a point-and-shoot all this year, and everything is blurry. I like to take photos of sports and of the political candidates when they come to town, but they always walk around the stage. I wanted to know if 3 fps is good enough for sports and for people walking. because I don't want to spend more than around 700 bucks. thanks

I am looking more for a D-SLR, not another point-and-shoot.

For $700 or less, you can get a nice entry level DSLR like a Nikon D40. Currently, the D40 is available with an 18-55mm and a 55-200mm lens for under $600.

It's great for all types of shots, including sports and portraits.
Look here for different types of photos that people have submitted. Just type in the subjects that interest you.

For under $470 you can buy a DSLR with 18-55 mm lens ...

Two things you may want to know ... in shooting sports, the pros don't us the "machine gun" method of catching the action ... they use what is called "peak of action" for capturing those amazing shots you see. I just takes some practice and knowledge of the game they are covering so they can anticipate the great shots ... next is the pixel count on the sensor ... here is a link that explains this. The real consideration when it comes to sensors, is their size.

For shooting political candidates, you will want to buy a 55-200 mm lens or something in that range.
