What is the best camera for action shots of sports
-what is the best and most simple camera for sport and action shots
D-SLR cameras are best for sports photography. In addition to the camera body the 2 useful lenses are the stock lens that usually comes with the unit...a 28-70mm ... and a 70-300mm lens. You will need the larger lens zoom for getting the tight shots from across the field/court. Entry level D-SLR cameras such as the Nikon 40D, the Canon XTi and the Sony a200 will get the job done but you will find the Burst mode lacking and too slow for action shots, commonly about 3 seconds and only up to 5 shots and then you have to wait for the buffer to clear before shooting again. The higher semi-pro cameras will have a burst mode of up to 6 seconds and almost continual shooting. I am the staff photographer for a semi-pro football team and have shot with the Canon 40d and Sony a700, both cameras have done great.
