I was just at Costco. They had a D5200 on sale, with two lenses,
both VR. One of the lenses is

300mm, which helps get out there a little anyway. The lenses may
not be the top of the line

qualitywise, but unless you're turning pro photographer, that
probably won't make much difference

anyway.

Yeah, that 300mm lens should work real well at 300 yards.....





I don't know what the point is, even if the lens were capable of filling

more than a tiny speck of the sensor with a ride at that distance.

They're covered from head to toe with gear, you can't see their faces,

could be anyone out there. Even at 100 yards, you're not going to get

much. Stand at one end of a high school football field and take a

picture of a person at the other end of the field, you're not going to

see much at 100 yards.

Religion: together we can find the cure.



Not to mention the auto focus during video recording.
I read recently that the newly released Canon D70 has video focusing
comparable to camcorders.
If a person was serious, that step up to a $1600. camera (price
advertised locally) might be worthwhile.

On the other hand I've seen the Sony mid range camcorders advertised
at $1000. or so claim that their sensor is the same as the pro models.


When we take video on the track it's mostly for review in the practice
room... Not trying to see serious detail. For photos, we would mostly be
in the 10 - 50 yard range....

The devil is in the details.
