Are the Sony digital SLR cameras good for shooting sports?
Best Answer: Sports photographers need a couple of things equipment wise. 1) great long, fast lenses. The most used by sports photographers are the 70-200 mm f/2.8, 200-400 mm f/4, 400 mm f/2.8 and 600 mm f/4 2) full frame cameras with a very low noise ratio at a thigh ISO. At present only two camera companies supply number 2 (Nikon and Canon) and only one that supply all four of the above lenses (Nikon) Look at the lenses available for Nikon, Canon and Sony and you will see the restrictions a Sony shooter will experience when shooting sports.
