Olympus E620 vs. Canon EOS Rebel XSI

I'm looking to upgrade my Sony DSC-H7 and have been considering the Olympus E620 ($800) vs. the Canon EOS Rebel XSI ($750).I shoot mainly sports photography, both indoors and outdoors on a year-round basis. Indoors mainly in the winter months (hockey) and outdoors during the warmer months (baseball, ball hockey, lacrosse, etc.)If you had to choose from these two cameras, which one would you go with, or is there another camera on the market in this price range that I should be considering…See More

Ok, that makes sense. The portrait setting is right next to the Sports setting on the camera dial, so it likely just slipped out of position for that shot. A lot of the other pictures turned out fine, except I've discovered a small chip in my…

Justin, The EXIF data wion the 2nd shot show the exposure was: Shutter: 1/200 F-Stop: 4.5 Lens Focal Length: 78mm Exposure Program: Portrait Mode (program 7) and the flash fired. When I 1st looked at the shot I was perplexed, but then it started to…

Justin, the settings whenever you're using an automatic function, fully auto, aperture priority, shutter speed priority, etc, chances are you're not at the extreme ends of the range. I doubt you're seeing 1/4000 shutter speed unless…

What I've quickly realized about sports photography is that getting great shots is nearly as difficult as playing the sports themselves, and it's almost the identical process involved. The better your preparation, equipment and…

Taking pic of moving action is difficult and something that takes alot of practice. The sports mode doesn't always help and with your second pic since he is not moving I would have taken it as a normal shot. It is easy to comment on…

Not sure what happened to you second shot, their appears to be a halo affect going on there. Gonna take a stab at some helpful tips: When shooting sports with that type of camera (point and shoot without interchangeable lenses) There may be a lag…

The original resolution for both photos was identical (1920x1080), but the second image was scaled to (737x939) here.

I use a Sony DSC-H7, and I was shooting in Advanced Sports mode with a Circular-Polarizing lens. I believe the shutter speed in that mode is 1/4000, but I'm not positive on the Aperature setting (perhaps 2.7?) [the range is F2.7-F4.5]

Tell us what camera and lenses you are using and what camera settings you are using or used to capture the above. This will allow us to be a bit more specific which will help. For example: I use Canon 40D, 1D Mark II N and 1D Mark III....my lenses…

I really like the first one, great job of capturing his intensity. Not sure what's up with the second one. Was that an effect you used for the blur?

What am I doing wrong?

Thumbnail
I'm still quite new to photography, and I'm just wondering what I can do differently to take quality photos more consistently. I'm just wondering if on my "bad" shots if I'm trying to shoot objects too far away, or if there is something else that I'm doing incorrectly when taking the picture. Perhaps you can advise me by looking at one of my better shots and comparing it to one of the shots I'm concerned with? Any help would be appreciated.See More

I wholeheartedly agree with Dave's post about Fotki, they are simply the best site I've come across so far. I am in the same position as yourself, shooting sports photography on a daily basis, and I opted for Fotki because it offers…

A nice capture, Amanda! (Although I would make my watermark a bit smaller, in my humble opinion.)
