Digital Camera Adviced Needed

[flyinbryan4]

I am ready to purchase a new digital camera, and I am using it for taking motorsports high-speed action shots (in some areas under bright stadium lighting, some areas under darker lighting).

What I am looking for is a camera that does not have a lot of downtime between shots, I need to snap off consecutive pictures (if a car has a wreck I want to capture the whole sequence, not wait 2-3 seconds for the camera to get the picture and setup for the next).

Anyone know a camera under $300-$400 that has a very quick re-load time? Just trying to do my research now, thanks a lot everyone.

the panasonic FZ range is about as good as u will get i think.. it (FZ20) fires off about four shots at roughly 3 frrames per second in fast burst mode in its other burst mode it seems to bang off about one shot a second untill the card is full..

this would be in fine jpeg mode..

it might not quite fit in your price range.. thow the FZ3 and FZ15 will... the FZ15 is slightly quicker cos it uses less pixels.. not quite sure what the FZ3 does but i think its about the same..

also not sure about its abilites as regards the lighting thow.. but at that kinda money i think its as good as they come.. with a big powerfull external flash fitted it will also fire off several flash shots pretty quickly.. this does depend on the flash thow..
