Hi,

The subject was my daughters third outing without stabisers, riding from close up to far away at speed.

I took a vid with my cheap point and shoot - no worries, in focus despite her riding off and me zooming, but I try again the next day with the SLR and its just awful - out of focus for the most part because I had to use the back screen to view so couldn't tell in strong light then got focus but the noise was obvious as the lens adjusted, plus it missed focus and blurred out completely for a bit.

I was at f11 which I thought might have been enough.

I've not processed the SLR one as its pretty poor, but here is the point and shoot one - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2Iy9w9_qNA

Any tips or should I just look for a better point and shoot (or M3/4 if they have better quality)?

Ta.
