Hi All,

Sorry for a noob question, but what lense you use to shoot sport event with the NX100 ? I was using the 50-200 (V2) for my kids soccer game (outside with good light) using continous AF or Burst and could get the correct pictures (either out of focus, focus on something else ...). May be it's me (bad photographer), but I have no problem with my +10yrs old Canon 30D.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, Samsung's focus is not even close to best-in-class in this area. If you want a cheap camera you could check the Nikon 1 series but the IQ is not the same as an APS-C with nice lenses like the samsungs. Otherwise I'm sure people here can suggest you the fastest focusing camera+lens combos for sports. Maybe you are better of with a small DSLR otherwise?

If you are willing to stay with Samsung, NX30 or NX300 will help, though I think to really get something acceptable you'd need to use the 45mm lens, which has 2 HUGE drawbacks for sports: no zoom, a bit too wide. If you can be close enough to use it + use cropping then it's nice. After that all you need is good lighting to be able to have a nice shutter speed and smaller aperture to have more in focus
