What is the best DSLR Nikon camera for low light indoor sports photography for purchase today?
I like the features and resolution quality of Nikon cameras so I want to know of the current Nikon DSLR lineup which should I go for when it comes to low light sports photography?
I like my D200 also, but I have not tried it in low light sports applications. If you are going to get Nikon regardless of the above recommendations, then the D200 is pretty good, but you might consider stepping up to the D2X or D2Xs. It has a slightly higher pixel count and can actually shoot a cropped image at 8 fps. The D2X is rated at a longer shutter life than the D200 and if you use a lot of “motor drive,” typical of sports photography, this might make s difference. It also has the CMOS sensor that seems to help the Canon’s in those low light (high ISO) situations, so Panacea might even approve.
Whichever brand and whichever camera you choose, get an image stabilization lens! VR for Nikon or IS for Canon. Man, I imagine the Nikon 200-400 f:4.0 VR (constant) lens is a treat to use.
How to optimize your shutter speed for shooting in low light.
