Has anyone used the new Kodak digital camera to take sports pics in a high school gym?

by kage_sumi

I have a camera but the pictures always come out blury. I was told I need a stableization in my camera like the new Kodak has. I want to make sure if I get that camera it will work fine. It is frustrating because I want to take excellent action shots of my son on the court and they come out blury. Any feedback?

Answer by TomTom
sorry you heard that.
a stabilizer takes away your hand shaking not an object moving.
the light in a gym seems bright.
but, it fools the camera.
if you write an email to me and tell me what kind of camera you have – I might be able to help you.
the best business you can do without changing the camera settings – is to get as close as you can and use the flash.

Sorry dude Kodaks are really terrible in the first place. I would never buy another one if it was the last digital camera on the earth. I have had too many terrible experiences with the picture quality that I never want to use one again. I would recommond any List camera or a cheap Nikon SLR (Nikon D50 or D40). The List S3IS is superior in imagine quality over any of Kodaks cameras with IS. Since it will be low light it will be diffcult to get a excellent shot since it is a slow lens.

Answer by Ara57
TomTom is right, the IS feature just helps camera shake a bit, maybe 1 or 2 stops. It will do nothing for low light sports action.

You need a camera that has usable high ISO and a reasonably quick lens. Or you need to be close enough to flash, which would be within about 10 – 15 feet with a P&S digicam!

At any rate, a Kodak with IS won’t cut it any better than whatever you’re using now. I would recommend a dSLR , to get higher ISO, with a mid-level lens. With some study and practice you should be able to get some keepers.

Excellent luck!

Would this work alright? I am new to digital cameras, so I have no clue what works with what.

Yes, C613 uses SD cards.
