A good camera body for sports?

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
hey all,
any surgestions for a good camerabody for sports (eg skating and such)
preferable one that focuses fast and and can open its appeture very wide so i don't have to use flashes to much

I've got some good lenses for such, as of yet no fisheye, but that should be sorted soon

thanks

    Which system are your existing lenses for, that would narrow down the choice of camera?

    For sports you would generally want long, fast lenses and a body that can handle continuous shooting for as many frames as possible.

    Unfortanately such things tend to be expensive.

    Well being a Canon fan I would have to say something like the 40D (or maybe a used 1ds mk2 if you can afford it) and a 300mm f2.8. The glass being more important than the body really. You need something with good reach and as fast as you can afford.
