The problem is that your shutter speed is neither here nor there. For motorsport I normally use a lower shutter speed (1/60 to 1/250) and pan for side on or side angle shots, for more head on shots I would look to a higher shutter speed (1/500+). Currently your shutter speed of 1/320 is to slow...

Your welcome, and I'm sure you'll love the Camera:thumbs: Make sure you buy the twin lens kit option if you can, the 75-300 is a perfect introductory lens for motorsports! As for our poor man crashing here is the whole sequence, 3fps is plenty for catching the action:D who knew...

Well heres a few F1 shots with my A200, I love it as an easy camera to learn on:love: And for other sorts of photography... All photo's with kit lens

So who's getting one? ;) http://www.photographybay.com/2009/04/22/sony-a500-rumor/ Sony A500 Rumored Specs 17.2 megapixels 2.7-inch 920,000 pixels articulating LCD 8 and 9 AF points (not sure what the machine translation is saying here) 0.98x viewfinder (coverage?) 30 sec to 1/8000th...

Oh well I guess I better start saving then... Why do I have so many expensive hobbies...

Hey guy's a couple of quick questions If I may, Firstly, will a lens with a SSM focus faster than the kit lens or is the focus speed dependent on the auto focus speed in the camera body itself? Secondly if your shooting with a lens in poorer light conditions does having a camera with a low...

I think the three things that settled me on the Sony a200 were A-Price, with the twin lens kit the value for money is great B-In body stabilisation, buy it once in the camera rather than every time you need a new lens C-Great reviews, an easy to learn, well laid out entry level DSLR

Thanks guys, I think my first purchases will be a 1.4 tc and one of the fabled Beercan's if I can find one down this end of the world. The 70-200G does look mighty tempting but I dont want to over commit cashwise as I'm off to the F1 in Melbourne and Malaysia in about 10 weeks. Mind you I am...

Thanks fabs, looking forward to learning all the things this camera can do:D Good thing is today the weather was a bit better so the water dragons came out! Got a bunch of photo's, I love being able to shoot macro! All these using the kit 75-300, not very good maybe but a world better than...

Hi Cezare, I may be new to DSLR's but mic's are something I know well. For ambient noise you may need a mic running through a preamp, this depends on how much power the canon is supplying through the mini jack, which you should be able to find through your manual. A few really good choices in...

Hi guys. Thought I'd introduce myself. I'm new here (as my post count would indicate) and am the proud owner of a brand spanking new A200! I intend to use it mostly for Motorsport and a bit of wildlife here and there. Oh yeah and Downhill Mountain Biking and climbing... I got the twin lens...
