What camera should I use for action shots? Or what environment?
Only I have access to two cameras. 1) The Casio Exilim EX-Z77 (7.2 megapixils) 2) The Nikon Coolpix S550 (10 Megapixils) I'm trying to take pictures for my photography class, I opted to take pictures of snowboarding, so I'm taking it to the mountain this weekend and I'm trying to see which camera would be better at taking pictures at high speed. for example, get my friend the air during a jump or … getting my friend down the mountain in a carving. As these photos … http://markheward.com/site/dreams/images/SnowboardJump2.jpg http://sujanpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/snowboarding_06.jpg what camera would best capture those moments?
The number of megapixels is totally irrelevant. What counts is the high shutter speed, the ability to focus manually and little shutter lag (which is hard). Estimated that the camera has the shutterlag least as well as manual focus, and then learn to use manual focus. It is necessary to set the focus on where the person will be during the jump, and be prepared for it to happen. Without making preparations in anticipation of of this, the shutterlag and hunting for the approach will not fail to capture the action.
