A:Answer Amazing camera for sports, I use this a freshman in college to take pictures of the bball games, cross country and baseball. It works great! You will need to use shutter priority mode and change settings in the camera menu, but it's not hard and maybe takes 5 minutes to get all the settings set right. But after that you'll be seeing great shots. I've also shot portraits and street photography, it works like a charm out of the box.
