Hello guys, I am in the market for a camera.

My main intention of shooting is quite a bit of range, I like shooting modern stuff, some landscape, but I also want to shoot sports. Particularly Golf and Paintball.

An example of the type of pictures I want to take



Video is an option I would like to have.

I dont want to break the bank and this is my first camera, but Id rather spend a bit extra and not have to feel like I want to upgrade in a year. 0-1200 seems to be my price range, staying away from the top end if I can.

Do you guys have any suggestions? (Yes I need a lense too in that price)

nikon d7000/d300s/canon 7d are probably your best choices

Ding.

Anything cheaper? Where im looking those all are around 1500

i dont know much about cameras.. just bought a d3100 tho.. seems quite good for an entry lvl dslr.. especially considering the price

Not nearly fast enough for stuff like paintball though...

Exactly.

In paintball you should not be far away. A good sports photographer gets as close as they can to the action.

Actually, it's even easier with golf. When I shoot golf i can sit within a foot of the ball or the players.
