I currently own a Nikon Coolpix L120 bridge camera, and have for around 3 years now. It's a great camera, and takes fairly decent photos, but I'm looking to step up to a DSLR now. As much as I love my Nikon, the sport mode leaves a lot to be desired and that's really the thing I use it the most for. I mainly take photos at motorsport events, usually rallies, and in the future I'll be attending a few track days, so obviously I'm wanting to take photos of some fast moving objects. However, for some reason, the Nikon's sport mode leaves my photos coming out very grainy and just spoils them. Here's a few examples:
It struggles to cope with sun glare too, and ends up putting awful lines down my photos:
It's good for macro and still photos, but I use it more for motorsport and just need something with a better quality sport mode. I've been told that Canons are the better cameras, but I'm not all that knowledgeable with all the different brands and which one is best. I've done some research, but to be honest I think it'd be best if I actually spoke to some photographers who can recommend me something. So, basically, I'm looking for a camera that takes good quality action shots as well as stills, and something that preferably doesn't cost more than £200 (£250 at a push), as I need to save my money for driving lessons and a car in the upcoming months. I'd like it to be able to take videos too, preferably with good quality, but obviously the photo taking part is more important. I'm open to any brands, and I'm most familiar with Nikon and Fujifilm, but like I said I've heard Canon is one of the best so I'll be willing to get one of those too. New or used doesn't bother me either. Thanks!
