What is a good camera for sports photography (under $400)?
For under $400 what is a good action camera for taking pictures at my sons baseball and football games?
You have a problem … P&S cameras under $400 or even more suffer from shutter lag … in sports and action photography, that means missed shots
You will have to increase you budget to $550. That will get you a DSLR with 18-55 mm lens (over 80% of your shots of the family, friends and travels) and a 55-200 mm which you will use for all your sports and action photography.
The $150 will be well worth it, since the cameras sensor is over 15x the size of most P&S cameras and eventually you will be able to add more lenses to your system.
The Canon SX-10 has about the least shutter lag of the P&S cameras, 0.079. The flash shutter lag takes a little longer, at 0.78 seconds. At just under 0.08 seconds, it is close the the longest shutter lag found on DSLR’s At $399 US with a 20x zoom, it could be a good choice, but in the end, what you buy has much more to do with your goals as a photographer.

Under $400- yes ther will be next shot delay which is important for sports shots.. For point and shoots I suggest the Canon SX10 IS.
10 megapixels, 20X optical zoom, image stabilizer, aperture/shutter priority, has viewfinder and is excellent on rechargeable batteries.

Nikon P80. This by far is the best camera under the $400 range, perfect to take pictures at your son’s baseball and football games.
Here are some key features: 18x zoom (you will be able to take closeups of your son while he is playing)
– 10 MP (more than you require)
– Large 2.7 inch screen
– Distortion control (required for taking motion pictures such as pictures of games.
– Reasonably priced.
I found the best price at Tigerdirect through dealjuggler.com. Here is the link for the product.
