Digital cameras forum: Indoor Sports Photography

Hi Snapshot, Thanks for you reply. Bear with me i am rather new to all this.
<div>Willing to spend up to $2,000 on a body. But not sure if that's an over kill.
It's for Indoor Basketball mainly.


Usually stand at one end. But would like the option to sit in the stands.
I don't use flash as it is banned for Indoor basketball.


Perhaps i need two lens' one for close up and one for the stands.
My current len's which i borrowed from a friend is a Tamrom Telemacro 70-300mm. It gives me some good close shots but the auto focus is slow and some times you can miss the shot when the ball is moving from one end to the other quickly. Also unable to get good close up shots when they are at the far end. I use this lens on my Nikkon D60. The kit lens is useless for this.


Hope that explains things.
</div>Once again thankyou.


There are so many DSLR Cameras out there. I do prefer Nikkon.
Getting the wrong camera and len's could prove a costly exercise.

Thankyou Piston Cup Champion.

Your advice is much appreciated.

Thanks. That was my next step. Looking forward to trying this lot out.
You have been great help.

I do like what i read about the D7000.
