Express Action Sports

I have the Canon Rebel T1i, and I’m looking to take better pictures of outdoor sports as well as indoor events. I currently have the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/1.4-5.6 IS, Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, as well as a Canon EF 50mm f/1-1.8. Would a Speedlight be beneficial? Or more cost efficient?

It sounds like you have the lenses that should do the job. There are of course better faster lenses but they cost a ton of money. What I think you need to do is learn how to use your camera better. A good class in photography and some practice will improve your pictures.

The 55-250mm should do a fine job with outdoor sports during the day. You will have trouble with it indoors or at night because of the small aperture. The 50mm F1.8 should do a good job with indoor sports if you are reasonably close.

A flash is not recommended though. It would be completely useless with outdoor sports as the action would be too far away for the the flash to be effective. Indoors it would work if you were within about 30ft. but do you really want to be sending a bright flash in the athletes eyes over and over again. I think they might have a problem with that.

If you really want to upgrade lenses be prepared to lay out some serious cash. The 70-200mm F2.8 IS lens is nearly $2,000. A 50mm F1.2 is also nearly $2,000 and a 24-70mm F2.8 or 18-55mm F2.8 are over $1,000.

I purchased a brand new ’07 Kawasaki Ninja last week and it was making a knocking noise from day one. I called the dealership and they said it was normal, all sport bikes have a knock to them. I called another Kawasaki dealer and was told the same thing. On the 7th day of ownership, the bike blew up due to a manufacturer’s defect and they are not giving me a new bike, but rather rebuilding mine! Worst part is, I live in Michigan and our riding season is ticking away and I could be without a bike for another 3 weeks! The dealership and Kawasaki are saying there is NO WAY I am getting a new bike and that I have to live with a week old bike with a rebuilt engine. Does anyone else think I have a legal case to get a new one ASAP?

Nope,,no legal case.
There’s nothing in the warranty or any law which stipulates or requires that they give you an entire new motorcycle.

Most states have so-called "Lemon Laws" on motor vehicles.
Those usually specify an "Unrepairable Problem",,,and only AFTER a certain number of attempts to fix it,,,
AND vehicle being in shop a certain number of times,,,and for a certain Total amount of time.

The details vary from state-to-state

Sorry to hear the bad news,,,hopefully they’ll do a good job putting it back together for you.

Good Luck,,i hope it all works out OK
