which camera is best for action photo of grandkids??
1090876
My T5 works wonderfully for action shots. I use an 18-250 lens which lets me get the shots even if they are further away. The focus is very fast and all I have to do is make sure I have the subject in the viewfinder. I have become fairly good at panning (following the subject as it moves) and have been happy with the results. I use a 32GB SD card with a fast transfer rate (90mbs/sec). I have been experimenting with the video mode and while the video is excellent I'm not much of a cameraman with it...yet! Have fun and enjoy, the T5 is the absolute best camera for the money.

Yes, the card stores both photos and video. I bought the 32gb card so I would not have to worry about constantly removing pictures from the camera to make space on the card. Though the T5 is Canons entry level camera there are many features I still haven't used. I guess I'm a hobby shooter and I have learned quite a bit just by trial and error. I have a blast taking pictures and over the holidays I took over 1200 pictures of the grand kids etc. in Florida. I'm always glad to help when I can.

I'm not an expert, and this is my first digital camera. I wanted the zoom capability for taking pictures of the kids doing sports, and dance (without flash) Not every picture turns out great as the kids move around, but I have gotten a large number of really good pictures at both soccer games and dance recitals.

I am still looking.... Actually I own the Canon PowerShot A720. This is a wonderful and inexpensive well built camera but .... The responding time is too long for taking picture of children. I use it to take picture of my littler daughter and most of the time I need to shoot several to get the best one.

I gave my grandson the camera at age 31/2. He really had a lot of fun with it. He is now almost 5 and loves taking pictures. I am not sure a 2 year old can grasp what the camera if for.

Thanks for the advice. The 16GB card/reader combo deal is what prompted my question! I'm hoping with this card, she can take a lot of photos and some decent video of my soon to be year old grandson. Thanks again for helping a grandma out!

Hi C.If mychildren were active types, I would probably lean toward the Canon 7 D, with its higher fps. But if my kids were more of the school-play type, I would get the 6D with its better low light performance. Hope my reply is of help. :-)

I think this will give you a lot more than the option to take "kids pictures". :) I'm a novice abd really bright it for it's videography caPabilities. it is almost professional grade without the price. the add-ons however are rather disappointing. (sorry)

This camera does a great job with action shots. I can photograph my grandsons jumping into the swing pool and stop the action as they are entering the was the water including the splash. I have taken water fall pictures and you can stop the water drops in motion. As far a s low light I think the camera will work well with the flash attachment that goes on the hot shoe on top of the camera. I have done ok in low light setting without a flash, but I would need to know more about what you trying to do in low light. Here again you have to keep in mind that this is $300 camera and it will not preform like a $1,000 Cannon. But for $300 it does a great job. The stop action on this camera is incredible.

I really can't speak to those events specifically (yet) but I have taken shots of my kids running in the park, rolling down the hill, etc with both the kit lens and the new 50mm I just got and the d3200 worked great. Disclaimer here is that those are outdoor photos. Depending on the venue and the lighting, that may somewhat play a factor in his it performs for action photos. Also, I've used both the single shot and continuous shot features and am very pleased with the results.

I would say it is better suited for the 3 year old. Our 6 year old has played with it but had commented that it is too 'baby-ish' for her. We found a different digital camera for her that worked well. Our 4 year old adores this camera though.

Camera reviewed here: >>> http://www.dpreview.com/news/1007/10072110panasonicdmclx5.aspYou may wish you had video of your two year old. If you use a MAC the LX5 works seamlessly with iPhoto

It is good to take pictures of kids playing. If you use video ,you have to consider its battery life (too short)

The Nikon 5000 series are all excellent cameras with automatic stabilization and automatic focusing on their lenses. I own the 5100 myself and have taken thousands of photos of my grandchildren. The digital photos are spectacular. I recommend this camera.

It really depends on the setting. The camera allows for a range of options and you should be able to capture your son (or other subjects) in motion with little difficulty. With that said, there may be some point and shoot options that could meet your needs with less expense. This model is just short of a professional grade camera and works well if the user's knowledge of photography is intermediate or better.

I need a camera that takes good action pictures indoors. My daughter is a dancer and my point and shoot pics are always disappointingly blurry.
