Which digital camera?

best video camera for youth sports image

M K

I am looking to purchase a digital camera, which will be used to photograph youth sporting events and posted on our league website. I am looking to spend around $200, and I am looking for the camera to be able to take clear action shots from a relatively close range. I would also like the ability to record video as well. Reviews seem all over the place for the ones I have checked out (Nikon Coolpix, Kodak Easyshare, etc...).

Any suggestions would be of huge help!

Thank you.

Answer
When purchasing any electronic device on a budget it is important to shop around and do as much research as possible this way you ensure you get not only the best quality product but also the best price.

Personally I recommend taking a look at the following digital camera models

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W530 14.1 MP Digital Camera - http://electronicsreviews4u.com/budget-digital-cameras/sony-cyber-shot-dsc-w530-14-1-mp-digital-camera

Nikon COOLPIX L24 14 MP Digital Camera - http://electronicsreviews4u.com/budget-digital-cameras/nikon-coolpix-l24-14-mp-digital-camera

If neither of these cameras meet your needs etc you might find something you like out of this selection of budget point and shoot digital camera reviews, I have also found that all reviews from this site are written in easy to understand terms and most importantly always gets straight to the important points

I hope this helps you with your purchase and good luck :)

Best camera I can get for around $300?

Ronnie

I'm looking to take pictures and videos of family events/work/nights out/etc. Also one of the main reasons I want a new camera is to take pictures and videos of youth sporting events. Not looking for a really expensive camera though. My budget is around 300, I can go higher if really needed but don't want to go past say 400 but I want to really know I'm getting a much better quality if I do go up to 400. I've been looking at the Fuji HS30EXR that I can find for 300 even. Is this camera one of the best in the price range? Can you guys suggest some pros and cons of the camera as well as others I should look into? Thanks.

Answer
You'll pay more money for less camera with Canon or Nikon, I'd take the Fujifilm without a second thought.

The HS30's main advantage over its cheaper stable-mates is its Li-on battery, addressing one of the few weaknesses of this range.

How much should I charge to film and edit basketball games?

best video camera for youth sports image

There youth basketball games, hockey games, all sports. How much should I charge the parents. For some people I will be doing highlights, for some people I will just record the seasons for them, and clean them up in the editing rooms. How much per game or season, is $20 a game too much?

Answer
is it just one parent on the team asking for the videos? if more than one want the same thing, then you can charge less for copies, since it's very cheap to make a copy once you are done - $20 for the one - if 3 parents want copies, then make it $15 each - you get $45 total for the game. video camera are so cheap anymore - almost everyone who has kids in sports probably already has one

that's a lot of time spent editing - how much per hour will that come to for your $20?

I would charge probably $10 per game per copy just for an unedited video of each game - let the people do their own editing - the kids can probably figure that out on their own

can i get images of speeding vehicles and report them to the police?

LIAM H

I live on a not very busy road but at the bottem is a sport complex (where youths hang out on friday nights) and they speed down the road sometimes 2 or 3 racing, if i park my van with the door open with a camera on a tripod and they are speading can i take a picture and then use it as evidence and report it to the police??

Answer
You can submit a video in a plea for stricter enforcement. I'm not sure they would issue tickets based on video you took though. Still photos probably wouldn't actually show speed.

Best zoom lens for shooting sports with a micro 4/3 camera?

BustedDrea

Recently purchased the Olympus E-PL1. I'm finding that I like to take pictures from a distance AND I like to take pictures of my kids playing sports. What lens should I get for shooting scenery in full light, outdoor youth sports in full light, and if possible, also shoot indoor sports (i.e. youth basketball in a gym)? Oh, to complicate the matters... I also shoot a lot of sports video in low light (i.e. youth football games played at night)

Answer
Long and fast is what you need for that. Olympus 4/3 (not micro, but there is an adapter) has some great long and fast lenses that cost a whole load of dollars. There is a 50-200 f:2 which fits the bill for $1000.
