georg_s1 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 <p>Hi Sergio, <br> do you have already a 5D and a 200/2.8? <br> If so - take a look at the 7D for a bit more „outreach” and a faster frame-rate.<br> A friend is using a 7D with a 70-200/2.8 and 300/4 professionally for soccer.<br> I for my part don't like 100-400 or 50-500 zooms for sports.<br> I'm not a Canon-guy, so take this with a grain of salt.<br> Cheers, Georg!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acedigital Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 <p>Canon 70-200 2.8 is THE go to sports lens, move up to a 300mm F/4 if you are doing mostly outdoor stuff and have good light and need to get closer. You can add a 1.4x teleconverter to either for more reach.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crowe Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 <p>The 7D. Vastly superior resolution, fps is same or better, and autofocus is likely similar or better as well.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren_rosenberg1 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 <p>Yea, you need something other than the 5D to shoot sports. The original 5D and even the 5D-II simply doesn't have the autofocus sophistication and frame rate that you need. Adding better glass to the 5D simply isn't worth it for sports. The 7D's autofocus is surpassed only by the 1D-IV and 1D-X. The jury's still out on the 5D-III autofocus but the frame rate is still not there.<br> <b>Moderator: Blog hyping links removed.</b></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audrey_allien Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 <p>For sport photography i would recommend Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera. With which your can get great sport photography results.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
