    I need a U$600 camera
    Hi,

    I photograph sports, mainly bicycle dirt jumping. Right now I have a very very very old film camera that worked well, but now I must have a digital camera SLR to post to a site and I want to know what camera would you recommend me to use.

    I must have:

    - Sequence shots(that makes the biker appear several times in one photo)


    I was thinking on this camera: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/tec...Fencoding=UTF8

    I like very much Olympus. I had 2 cameras olympus and they were the best cameras i ever had.

    But I would like your opinion. What do you think?

    Thanks

    Hello Lucas, Welcome to PR...I'm not sure how much we can help you. There are a few DSLR's available in the $600USD range. I use the Pentax *ist DL with some practice it would work for you, however, it is a little slow, but does have the 2.5 frames per sec. The E300 has been recently upgraded to the E 330. and the E 500 is also a nice camera. At this price then there is the Canon Rebel. A bit higher in price. The biggest problem is that these cameras are a little slow compared to the higher end cameras.
    I do have a question. What camera have you been using, the Olympus?, and what lenses do you already have. This could make a big difference on what you can afford and would give us a better idea what to recommend.
