Home Forums Gear Photography Point and shoot for soccer

I've shot a lot of soccer over the years. Long distances, fast action and sometimes poor lighting make soccer a long stretch for P&S camera's. I don't know of a model that will do a good job. I'm a Canon guy and in good lighting I'm shooting a 100-400 lens. In bad lighting I'm gunning a long f2.8 at a high ISO (whatever it takes to keep my shutter around 1/1000).

My best suggestion is to learn to use that D7000 (I checked the specs and it seems like it can get the job done) and get a long lens (200mm or more). I see parents using inexpensive 70-300mm lenses but I haven't seen images to vouch for. If all if this makes no sense to you, you have a learning curve ahead of you and might do well to start asking setting and technique questions.
