Michael posted a blog postSports and Action Photography

Sports Photography Camera Settings
So in an attempt to get some discussion going in the Sports group and anyone else that wants to interact I thought I would ask this question.What are the ideal camera settings when shooting sports?Let's go under the assumption that it is a sunny day and we are shooting outdoors. I'll get it started and see what happens.Camera: Nikon D90 and D80Lens: Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 and Nikon 24-70mm f2.8Aperture Priority at f2.8Shutter Speed (hopefully) 1/2000 or aboveISO 100 to 400So how do you shoot?See More
Michael commented on Angela Dixon's blog post New Here"Angela,

G-Ronn Mendoza replied to G-Ronn Mendoza's discussion Nikkor lens: AF-S 55-200mm f4-5.6G IF-ED DX VR vs AF-S 55-300mm f4.5-5.6G ED DX VR"Hi Guys,
Is it safe to say that AF-S 55-200mm f4-5.6G IF-ED DX VR enough for events such as weddings, birthdays and portraiture? There are reviews that the 55-300mm has problem in focusing at 300mm focal length."
