Smart camera guide for sports enthusiasts

Active shutterbugs who enjoy shooting sporting events sometimes run into the problem of images turning out blurred due to camera shake. In some cases, prized moments are missed because of sluggish cameras or the lack of proper technique.

Curiosity's camera mast erected Although high-end dSLRs makes getting the winning shot easier, these cameras are typically too expensive for mainstream users. Though more affordable entry-level mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras (ILCs) are capable of 5fps burst-mode shooting, there are more portable compact cameras that boast much faster burst rates.

The ideal snapper for sporting action should have a fast maximum shutter speed (1/1000 or faster) and be capable of shooting in burst mode of at least 8 fps in order to freeze fast moving action. Since you won't always have the luxury of getting front row seats, a long zoom lens that reaches 300mm will give users the ability to get a closer view of the action.
