I find the lack of instant response from digital camera shutter buttons loses me some good shots of animals on the move, I have tried quite a few including some from the lumix range and still the same prob, nowhere near as fast in capturing moving shots as a older film camera instant capture, event when using the multiple shot facility it still takes that split second to get a response anyone know some thing I dont, or can recomend a camera that is more suitable

Hi Keith.
Digital SLRs are pretty much instantaneous, but obviously more expensive than a typical compact point-and-shoot. The Nikon D3000 + lens is ~ú340. You also get the opportunity to spend (lots) more money on specialist macro lenses. Some of the more expensive Canon compacts have a "Quick Shot" mode which works pretty well. Hope this helps. Regards, Tim. |

I think I was using one of those mock pretend to look like a dslr with digi image eye type view finders that were no good even though expensive, but have now got a real slr in the form of a Canon eos dslr with real mirror shutters + a zoom lens which means I can stay back without scaring them off so looking forward to the season lots to learn on its working potential.Keith Edited by AGILIS - 13 Apr 2011 at 9:09pm |
