Express Action Sports

I’m planning an event for 20 to 30 18 and 19 yr old males. Our first choice is laser tag, but does anyone know of anything similar like paintball etc? Much appreciated.

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.
