I wanted a camera that could deliver high speed action for baseball and football games with a WOW! While I had my heart set on a Nikon D7000, I decided to go ask some about which camera can give me what I want for the action shots I want. In this price range, all cameras should give you great portraits and take great shots, but what if you are looking to capture sequential shots of a pitcher and immediately turn to catch the action of a play erupting at second base? Well this is the camera for you if you aren't ready for the pro models but want pro results. Slightly noisy and heavy so a monopod is recommended and don't take it to your library!
What's great about it: Excellent focus and processing speed for action, great optics for clarity
What's not so great: A bit heavy, dark or low light action can be a challenge
I would recommend this to a friend!
