Going to Indian Wells Tennis Tournament, Recommend Eq.

If everything works out well and Roger Federer shows up I am going to go and take some pictures. I have had both

Nikon and Canon systems and I don't really have a preference. Please recommend a DSLR Camera and a lens or

two that can take good quality pix from courtside box at the stadium. Budget: $1600.

Thank you.

Look <a href="http://www.photo.net/canon-eos-digital-camera-forum/00Gypg">here, which will tell you what some

others have used successfuly.</a> You could have found

it yourself by doing a photo.net search. If this is a once in a lifetime thing for you, as you're thinking of buying

equipment for a particular tournament, consider renting by the week. You might try <a

Their rates are certainly better than those at my local stores.<p>The advantage of renting is that you won't have

to skimp -- a third of your budget might rent you, for example, a Nikon D300, a 70-200 f/2.8 and a 200-400 f/4

for a week. I've attached a shot from a slow and soft Tokina consumer lens of the 1980s, but that's all I had with

me on a trip when the possibility of attending came up. It's not quite Indian Wells, but still a nice

tournament. (Find the ball and you'll see which one it is.) The woman serving won it twenty times.<div></div>
