How do you take sport shots?

I have had problems with this camera, doing things like that. Seems like a good little camera if you don't try to zoom but the image stability feature doesn't work well. Any zoom at all and the picture blurs. I have found that if I want to take pictures that are going to need zoom then I take it on the highest number pixel available and use a program to zoom in on the part that I want, later.

I would say no. I have tried to take action shots with it and they always come out blurred. Very frustrating.

I shoot a canon mark III, and a very heavy, canon 300mm. It works like a dream. I shot sports and have to roam around a lot!

Yes You can, but you need to have a very good source of light and the shutter speed can be increased for more stability, You can get around 3 shots at a time

You will need to fill the speed bag with air. Be sure not to add more than 4 lbs. of air.You will need a needle and pump the same as used on a basketball. Good luck.

it's all about the angle of the shot. You'd have to really try to get the handle in the shot, like sit the camera flat on the bar. It's really not an issue.

Again, the trick is to pre-focus. You point the camera at a particular spot, such as under the hoop in a basketball game. Press the shutter down half-way and wait for the focus confirmation light to come on. Hold the shutter until the players enter the frame and then press it down the rest of the way. There is still about 1/3 or 1/2 second of "lag", so trial and error is necessary. Out of 200 sports photos, I hope to get 50 that are "good" and maybe 5 photos that are "great". With a professional level camera, the percentage of successful shots would double....for five times the price. Again, the trick is to pre-focus.

And don't use your camera on auto, use it on A (apperture priority), set iso on auto with min shutter speed 300 or 400 for moving targets, then play with apperture ( change the f ) and see how you get best results.

This will work good any how but slow focusing so if you want it for sport i dont recomend it but for normal shots works perfect

you inhale using the mouth piece bringing the balls as close to top as possible. Hold for count of 3 then remove mouth from mouthpiece and exhale for count of 4. repeat exercise as tolerated. Best when practiced daily.

Lag time when you take each shot so the image you get is a split second after you push the button, not so good with sports action shots. Also lag time between shots.

Hello. Unfortunately, neither of these will be very good for soccer. It is not a question of zoom, so much as response time. These types of cameras have to clear the sensor before they capture a shot, so none of them are going to be great for sports. They can work ok, but you're likely to miss "the moment". If that is acceptible, try the SX200 (or one of the new Lumix models with the super fast auto focus might be a bit better). But for best results shooting sports, you'd want something that didn't have to clear the sensor, like a DSLR (Canon Rebel, Nikon D40, etc.) Or if you want a small hybrid, you could consider the Lumix GF1, but they aren't cheap.

I got this as a gift for my brother, so I have not really worked with it. It would be hard to capture good actions shots, I would think unless you were really close up and held the camera really still or put on a tripod. I finally broke down and bought a Canon Rebel SLR to take photos at football games. Even with that you need the additional telephoto lens and set it to TV mode, but of course, it is a lot more expensive. My brother loves this one for general picture taking.

Here are some tips: (1) try to get better lighting - low light is not easy to work with (2) don't zoom in if you don't have to, just get closer to the subject(3) follow the subject while you shoot if possible(4) use auto mode if in doubt (5) hold the camera with only your right hand, use your left hand to hold the wrist of your right hand to better stabilize your right hand and limit hand movement (6) do a half-press on the shutter release to let the camera focus before the shot, then when you're ready to take the shot, fully press it and it will already be in focus.

You can use this yourself. It just needs to be held firmly in place by the hand you aren't using to give the shot.

This camera is fabulous at fast moving sports. It can take a shot a second, consecutively. I love it!

You can shoot shots pretty quick, but then the camera takes a few seconds to catch up. I usually use a burst of several and it recovers by the time I am ready to shoot again.

Any lens with a Canon mount will work with the camera. What you want is a good zoom lens with a good range. A lens from 18 mm to 200 mm is a very good all around lens that will work for both the ball game and indoors also. But, more than the lens, it is the camera that must be set correctly. For the ball game, you need to use the sports mode which causes the camera to have a high shutter speed to capture the action. Indoors you want to boost your ISO a bit for the lack of light. If you use the camera's flash do NOT use the lens hood since it will block some light and give you a dark half circle on the bottom of the picture.
