Best Camera for Sports Photography?




Madison


For my school, I am taking pictures for our baseball team. I am looking for a camera that I can use that is under 1k. I would like to know which lens I should buy. I can buy a short and a long lens and any links with reviews will be appreciated. Thanks!


Answer
For your baseball team shots, look at a Nikon D3100, coupled with a Nikon 55-300mm vr lens.
Here's a couple of reviews for you.

The camera, with an 18-55mm VR zoom lens, is $650 from Amazon.com

And the 55-300mm lens is $310.

That gets you a nice 18-300mm setup for under $1000.

By the way, the D3100 has better resolution than the D300 that I use professionally.

very interrested in sports photography, and im looking for your opinion of the best cameras for sports photography. any help is appreciated.... yes, i know its going to be expensive


Answer
I would say the Canon 1D Mark III which is the next generation after the 1D Mark II that I have. This series makes up the majority of sports and photojournalist cameras now. I would recommend fast lenses. I have :
17-35 f/2.8 L (the 16-35 is the newer version)
24-70 f/2.8 L
70-200 f/2.8 L IS (the best general purpose sports lens)
500 f/4.0 L IS (a huge lens that is often used by pros)
