sois Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 What do I get? I don't want to spend zillions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Elflocko| Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'm a fan of Canon cameras, but Nikon makes a good one as well. Any of the entry-level DSLR's will have a sports mode, and usually come with a kit lens which should give you a decent range. This one is only $429 and you can also get a good deal via B&C Camera here in town. Hell, I can meet you at one of their stores after work one evening and help you find a good one...

sois Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Thanks Elf Lockoe, I will take you up on that offer in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Elflocko| Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Or, you could check out Craigslist. This set isn't a bad deal for the money and it gives you the longer lens to boot. That way you don't spend too much and find out whether you really want to be doing it at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sois Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Is that a good price? Should I offer less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Elflocko| Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 That's not a bad price, particularly since it comes with 3 lenses and the battery pack. See if he'll bit on $250, but I wouldn't be too concerned over that price. First question to ask is how many actuations does the camera have? That's the fancy way of asking how pictures have been taken on it, but if you ask the fancy way he'll think you know what the fuck you're talking about. If it's a high number, say 35,000 then see if he'll take less. The shutters on those are only good for about 50,000 shots but that would still be a decent price if you could squeeze another 15,000+ shots out of it...

|Elflocko| Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I thought it came with those 3 lenses?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sois Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 It did, which one of those is best though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Elflocko| Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 The 75-300 is the one you want. That will allow you to stand midfield and zoom in to either end zone, or stand at the back of the end zone and zoom into midfield. The 18-55 will give you wider angle shots of the entire field.
