fastest digital camera?
Hello
I take pictures of dogs at the local animal shelter and then post them onto petfinder.org. The final jpeg pictures are 10K in size. I was wondering if there were any digital camera out there that would allow me to take the picture faster. Lots of times the dog moves so quick, he is blurry or out of the frame. And then I have to wait 3 seconds tot ake the next picture. Thanks so much, Mike |

Cameras that cost as much as a good used car can give you near film like capture experience. set the shot up and lock exposure and most importantly, focus. then get the animal's attention. have assistants wrangle the creatures while you deal with the equipment. things that work for me, imitate a puppy, whimper like one, that works for several takes, yummy treats held off camera gets the dog to look up in a decent profile and usually you can get them to sit for that treat. one possible problem is the cameras tend to use a prefocus flash or LED illumination that freaks the poor creatures out. I can't get a decent image of my dog if he has any inkling I"m aiming that evil wicked soul stealing box at him. use of an external shoe flash can remove some of that, it the flash uses infrared focus assist, some thing like that, maybe the see the infrared too. so, you could go to an old film camera and scan the images, or remember that no matter how many times it takes to finally get a good shot of the pet, failures can be deleted again and again at no paper and film cost. |

The fastest (and highest quality short of $10000 or more) digital camera is
currently the Nikon D2h. Cost is only about $3500 for the body plus whatever you decide to spend on lenses. "mike" wrote in message om...

You may want to look for older, used professional cameras. The old Kodak DCS-520 selles for under $1000 used these days. 3.5 fps and 5.7MB files. Jon |

I have a bunch of nikon lenses, so I wouldn't mind get an older Nikon,
I just wish there was to take a small picture to begin with. thanks Mike EMOVE (Mr 645) wrote in message ...

Still don't know what price range you're looking at, but if $1300 (plus
cost of cf card) is a possibility, check out the new Nikon D70 digital SLR at sites such as DCReview, DCResource, etc. Has ISO range 200 - 1600, NO shutter lag, 3 frames per second, 'shutter' speed to 1/8000 second (if enough light). Depending on the vintage of yor Nikon glass, if it is F-mount (probably is if newer than 50 years), it will work to at least some degree, usually at least as manual focus, manual metering in Aperature priority mode on the camera. Note that crop factor is 1.5, so your 80-200 zoom becomes 120-300 with digital CCD about 2/3 the size of 35mm film frame. mike wrote: I have a bunch of nikon lenses, so I wouldn't mind get an older Nikon, I just wish there was to take a small picture to begin with. thanks Mike EMOVE (Mr 645) wrote in message ...
