What camera do I need? - 2

I'm about to be in yearbook and I have a camera already (Canon Rebel t1i) and I like it and all but the sharpness of the photos aren't exactly the best and it is not good at all at motion photos. Like I have to take sports photos and all that and it will suck to have blurry photos. I need to know if there's another camera I can get that isn't too expensive that would have clear photos and be really good at motion photos.

Be certain first that it is not some mishandling by you that makes blurry pics. Canon is a good brand, so it is possible that changing the camera may not do much to improve your pics. Motion pics in any camera need high shutter speeds to look sharp.

Analyse the metadata in your blurry pics, most likely you will find they have low shutter speeds. Raise the ISO or buy a lens with higher max aperture (low number such as f2.8, or f1.8).

Your T1i is capable of sharp photos and motion photos. You need to learn how to use it properly. Sharp photos depend on lots of things, but one thing is holding the camera properly; learn how to do that. Motion photos, sports, usually depends on having a fast lens, such as f/2.8 or faster. Invest in a better lens, not a new body.

You already have a good Canon (not cannon as one contributor put it) camera. Talk to your advisor and others. Look at their camera"s viewfinder. Your goal is comfot in viewing your images. Shoot more with your camera and get use to it. You may feel like adding more lenses, which makes more sense than buying another camera at this point.

A poor craftsman blames his tools.

Cannon may be your good alternative.

Which ever one you want

Your camera is fine. Just work on your photography skills and you should be fine… Go online and research, you will find very useful tips… You can also check out youtube. It makes no sense you get another camera, or else you are going to have the came complaints as photography always depends more on skills than high quality.

Nothing wrong with the camera you have. You need faster glass (lenses with a maximum aperture of f2.8 or wider) and more importantly you need to understand how to use it. Take a course in basic photography - exposure, lighting and composition

I left Canon for Pentax a few years ago. But your problem, I'm afraird is traceable back to you. Have you adjusted the viewfinder for your eyesight? Do you wear glasses? And if so can you slide them up on your head and adjust the viewfinder for sharpness, without wearing your glasses? Are you using the focusing square or squares on the most important part of your scene? Sports photo's are difficult to take! You have to develop the skill which in most cases means you have to "pan" your camera with the subject and take the phtoto at (hopefully) the right instant. Prints being cheap these days like 13-to 20 cents a piece it doesn't cost much to experiment. And with digital if you can upload your picture files to your computer and see them full screen you should be able to see if you are improving at this! Without having to spend "any' money on
Upon rereading your question: i have story for you! When In college we had a "Look" magazine photographer come out and show us his technigue. Long story short he shot 6 rolls of 36 exposure film with two Nikon's in 45 minute period. Showed us about 20 8x10's he had blown, when he return to school with his results. He said his first editor would cut that down to 6 or 7 and the "final editor would use two to three shots. So if pro's can shoot 216 or so exposures for the result of three printed photographs, I guess we and everybody is entilted to shoot more exposures in an effort to get the results we

Your camera is perfectly capable of taking good clear
I would guess that you are using the wrong settings somewhere. Or, perhaps, using a slow shutter speed which is causing motion blur.

A Nikon DSLR ( ie D3000-D5000-D80 etc) has the ultra swift function called the 'Sport Mode' and w/ real quick high shutter speeds can capture the fastest ( baseball homerun action, slam dunk mojos and kickass soccer kicks!)----cameta.com or abesofmaine.com
