Sorry for taking so long to post a thanks for the reply, i was out of town for 3 days.


Thanks for the comments and information, you're very right about technique and timing, the reason why I don't mind spending the extra money to compensate for my slow trigger finger

Also the 17-50mm is very helpful information, as I have never bought a lens and had no idea where to even start.

I just found a place in my city that rents Digital cameras, sent them off an email on prices, if they are reasonable I may rent a couple for my next event and see how they preform against my skill level, so thanks for recommending some other cameras to look at.


On a side note, I visited a Buddhist temple/garder on my short trip and was disappointed in the zoom on the DSC-V3 at a subject (water lilly) about 20ft away, so my question is what lens would I be looking at for a close up on a small object at about 20-30ft, not on the old DSC, but on the 40D or XSi/XTi type of cameras.
