Whats the best Digital Camera out there?

July 11th, 2012 6 comments

I’m looking for a digital camera that takes awesome action shots for sports. I would also like to use it as an everyday camera. Was thinking about the canon rebel XTI anyone have any input on this. I would really like some HELP! An image stablizer would be nice, and one that will take photos in a gym without it being too dark!

You will not find any sensor based image stabilizing on Nikon or Canon DSLR’s … they do that on lenses, specifically designed for the length of the lens. The professionals that use Nikon and Canon cameras demand more performance from their cameras, so you will not see any "universal" fixes on their cameras (no one size fits all design).

That said, good photo taking techniques, fast lenses, IS or VR lenses and judicious control of ISO settings makes the success of shooting indoors higher than using a camera as an expensive point and shoot.

Next time you are watching a pro shoot an indoor sporting event, note their style of shooting and the equipment that is being used.

Would you deem affirmative action as a success or failure up to this point?

I think affirmative action has done a little good, but I think it makes a grievous error.

I think it is pushing a lot of unqualified and uneducated blacks into positions of authority: like teachers, policeman, firefighters, doctors, scientists, etc. If the black has the necessary credentials then great.

The one thing affirmative action assumes is that all races are unequivocally equal (And I’m not talking from a value perspective, we all have value) I am saying that we are not all the same, physically and mentally. I don’t think all whites should be taking the jobs of asians if they have more scientists. Certain races have their strengths and for blacks it may be sports. We are tampering with evolution and I think it’s dangerous.

It has been a success, most notably in helping women advance in the areas of business and education.
