I purchased this camera because I have children who play sports (soccer and basketball) and I was tired of taking blurry pictures of them! This camera solves that problem. I am still trying to learn how to take quick manual pictures during a sports games, but the automatic settings are very impressive. Most shots I take are clear and focused on the correct person / object I am trying to shoot. I have a 32GB SDHC Class 10 card with a 30 m/s transfer rate so I don't have to worry about taking too many pictures. I would strongly recommend this camera to anyone upgrading to a DSLR camera.

I purchased this with the Sony-Alpha SLTA57K 16.1-Megapixel DSLR. The camera came with a 18-55mm lens, but this lens is an absolute must if you are taking any pictures other than close up. My children play soccer and basketball and I am able to get great pictures of them without blurring (which is why we went with a DSLR camera). I have even taken it to Columbus Crew Stadium with excellent results. You almost don't need your 18-55mm lens with this one, it covers that wide of a range.
