Hi all

 

So I want to get a new camera which will mainly be used for taking photos of motorsport while the cars are moving but also while they are stationary.

 

I currently have a FujiFilm HS20EXR which while the quality is great, the shutter speed is far too slow.

 

My mate let me have a go on his d3200 and the shutter speed is excellent with great quality.

 

I found a website that sells used cameras and the d3200/d3300 are available without lenses for £199/£225 respectively. (Is this good?)

 

However for lenses I have no idea which would suit.

 

Could you help me find a suitable lens for a d3200/3300? The website I was looking off is https://www.mpb.com/en-uk/ 

 

Thanks

Pro 

 

 

My Setup :P

What budget?

I was thinking around £300 for a camera and lens but I could extend that by waiting until Christmas to get some more money if it's worth it.

If you're looking for a separate camera and lens, then iI'd say stick it out till Christmas when you'll have a better budget :)

Ok, I will probably be able to get a higher class camera off that website in a good condition with a decent lens, the main reason I made this thread is because I'm not sure which sort of lens would be suitable for moving vehicles but also some stationary shots at car shows, do you know which are suitable?

My Setup :P
