What Camera Settings To Use In Marches

ToddnTN

I need a new photographic camera. The last nice camera I bought was a Canon Elan IIE. I still accept the lense that came with that photographic camera, EF 28-fourscore if I remeber correctly.

Anyway, I need something that can take adequately shut up shots of my daughter in the marching band. I will either be at the fence or in the stands.
Generally at nighttime with a lighted field.

Price is a concern, only I don't mind spending the money if I have to get practiced results, within reason. My upper limit would exist around $1200.
I accept a squeamish pocketbook, tripod, SD card, etc, just need the camera and lense(south).

Whatever suggestions?

Cheers in advance,
Todd

Never heed... I missed the 'by and large at night' fleck. That'south going to make it very difficult to achieve. The trouble is, fifty-fifty though the field seems reasonably vivid to your eyes, it will not to a camera. Y'all will demand adequately large apertures and decent high ISO handling. I'm not a Canonite, and so I can't brand any recommendations for that brand, but the all-time I tin can think of in Nikon would exist a used D7000/7100 and 80-200 f2.eight. You might merely squeeze that in under your budget...

You'll desire a fast lens. Probably the all-time choices would be either an 85mm f/1.8 or 100mm f/two Canon EF telephoto prime lens. Neither is especially long, just they do have very expert wide-aperture picture quality, and even the slower lens, the 100mm f/2, lens lets in twice every bit much light every bit any $1600-$ii,500 f/2.viii zoom lens. The easiest way to become meliorate nighttime football field type shots is to get CLOSER. Y'all will need to shoot a scrap looser, and and then ingather in. A 200mm f/2 or a 300mm f/2.eight would both be nice, but those are multi-m-dollar lenses...

My vote goes for the FAST, medium-length telephoto, getting closer than the stands, and cropping in a flake at the computer.

Hello Todd - as tirediron says, information technology would be a claiming to find an APS-C camera with the achieve and light-gathering ability to requite y'all skilful results for $1200. To stay inside your budget, I recommend the Panasonic FZ200 with its 24x constant aperture f2.eight zoom.

Every bit a bonus, it tin also produce pretty good in-camera 720/120p ho-hum move dark video:

If this is shut to what you demand, you tin go this photographic camera for less than $500 (backordered at Amazon at this price) and have $700 left over

Hope this is helpful,

Bill

Nikon D7000 or the Nikon D5200 with the lxx-300mm VR lens will do the pull a fast one on.

Nikon D7000 or the Nikon D5200 with the lxx-300mm VR lens will practise the trick.

Respectfully, I have to disagree. Yes, you can get clean images with a 4.v-5.half-dozen lens at nighttime at ISOs up to 3200. Simply, even with a D7000, with marginal shutter speeds for moving subjects, the number of keepers is probable to exist low.

Nikon D7000 or the Nikon D5200 with the 70-300mm VR lens will exercise the play a joke on.

Respectfully, I have to disagree. Yes, you can get clean images with a 4.five-five.6 lens at night at ISOs up to 3200. But, even with a D7000, with marginal shutter speeds for moving subjects, the number of keepers is likely to be depression.

I am sad to concord with you but in the toll range of 1200$ this is the best I could come up with.
For a actually good depression calorie-free long altitude shooting I would recommend either the Nikon D600 or Catechism 6D with 70-200 F2.8 lens but thats about 4000$ value.
Even a D7000 with 70-200 2.viii volition be around 2800$

Ahh if money was not an issue what a keen camera+lenses I could become LOL

my daughter does flag and marching when asked.the biggest trouble is the lighting on fields.yes the pictures in the other post wait good but they tin can spend money on lighting fields where a lot of loftier schools are like a pigsty in the ground.the D7000 is good for this,not best only proficient.you can get used sigma 20-200 2.eight around $900 or tamron for about $700 and a used 7000 for $650 to $800.yes a piffling more simply good combo.

Possibly a secondhand EF 135 f2 Fifty. The ingather 18mp batch of canon cameras have all got similar noise characteristics, so a secondhand t2i. You may get the 2 of these for your budget, giving a reasonable achieve and 18mp allows for cropping provided your start image is good.

Alternatively the pentax k30 is well recommended for its noise handling, has inbuilt stabilisation and there are thousands of secondhand pentax fit lenses on the net, just pick a fast long 1

Thanks for the replies everyone. I found a review of depression light photographic camera abilities on Adorama. Per this article and DxOMark, the Nikon D5200 is the best APS-C camera for depression light.

So I am thinking this photographic camera with general purpose lens and calculation either this lens or this lens.
Yes this blows my budget, just hey, you only live once.

Any thoughts?

Thank you.

jaomul

Very good options. For the lens i would go with the tamron for convenience

ToddnTN

Ok, I just ordered the D5200 with the eighteen-55 lens and Adorama had a Nikon 180mm f2.8 ADif (early) lens for $299. So I got the whole setup for right at $1100.
The 180mm might be less than ideal, but I call up it will do what I want, and if not, I did not spend a ton of money on information technology.

Cheers for the help everyone. I will permit y'all know how I like it once I go information technology.
