I like to shoot a lot of movement or far away objects. Would this be good for that?

The lens included with this camera is a standard zoom wide-angle lens, which you can get some very good shots with. However, depending on how far away your subject(s) is(are) you may need a lens with a longer focal length. Many customer get this camera/lens outfit in conjunction with either the Nikon 55-200mm lens, or the 55-300mm lens. Either one of those telephoto lenses will allow you get in close to your subject(s) that is(are) farther away.

The D3300 has 9 focus points and 1 cross type point, which equates to poor focusing performance on moving subjects. That's just a simple evaluation of the body. A majority of focus performance and zoom range will come from the lens itself. This camera does not have a built-in focus motor and relies on the lens to focus its subjects. For example, a 55-200mm nikkor lens, considered a "kit-lens", will be slow to focus compared to a professional 70-200mm nikkor lens.

I would say yes. I am shooting about 310fps. I do think a size with more depth may be more appropriate for a crossbow. If it were me, I would purchase a crossbow target to get more shots out of the target. Using two targets might be another option. If you are only going to shoot to sight in and then check occasionally then this target would be fine especially if you shoot at all the different bulls painted on the target. Hope this helps.

I have Gamo big cat/1400 and it is very powerfull...it almost makes to much noise for me to shoot in my yard and I have 4 acres (afraid neihgbors).It is fun to shoot and seems very accurate.....I have been shooting it at about 100 feet.But I can't compair the two

I shoot substantial hi-speed stop-action in/out doors as well as with the flash. Once I knew which setting to use, it's been flawless. Experiment with the settings and you'll see for yourself there are NO shortcomings with what this camera can do. It's best if you use a tripod with the 40x optical zoom if you do stop-action shooting.

It is great for action videos. If you also want stills, I agree a great digital camera with video might be a better option? Also give yourself time to play with it so you are ready and able to use it.

I have not tried it on a sports event yet but it will probably struggle in keeping with the fast action. Auto focus is 'adequate' and not pro-level. I will update this answer when i have the chance to use/test it for that. I can tell you in a moving (freeway speeds)car, shooting at mountains, trees or landscapes, it is fast and accurate.

I got this as a gift for my brother, so I have not really worked with it. It would be hard to capture good actions shots, I would think unless you were really close up and held the camera really still or put on a tripod. I finally broke down and bought a Canon Rebel SLR to take photos at football games. Even with that you need the additional telephoto lens and set it to TV mode, but of course, it is a lot more expensive. My brother loves this one for general picture taking.

Yes, it's fun to shoot. Good for about 25-30 feet. You'll empty the mag before you know it.

It shoots pretty well for such a stiff trigger. I use it for practicing snap shooting from about 10 to 20 feet. Shoots a long time on a cartridge, which loads into the pull down back strap. Well thought out except for hard to see sights and long stiff trigger pull. Painted my sights white, but mostly use point and shoot method.

Yes I believe it would work well for that, it's a little too light for the range.

Yes, depending on your product (size/color, etc...), with the right distance and # of lights, it should be good for almost anything. For me it was barely good enough for some modeling photos, which require much higher film speed due to some movement... but for inanimate objects, use a tripod and you should be good for almost anything, anywhere. I even use one of these units to enhance light for indoor table tennis!

I wouldn't recommend it for anything with a lot of movement and action, because it's entirely manual. Trying to continually focus manually is not easy in a fast-paced action situation.

Hi, this scope has great resolution and zooming. However, I've not shot at that range and cannot speak to that. The thing I will say is that the optics are great but the tripod might not be robust enough for a steady image at the range. The slightest movement would cause image problems at that far a rand. The Barska manufacturer and website are an excellent resource with great customer service. Hope that helps. I'd like to come shoot with you and maybe we can test it out?!

I used it for bike riding, hiking, deer hunting, I think because of the fast movement you might have a little blurring, also the sky is a little bright, watch out shooting towards the sun but should be able to get some good shots and good luck on the hunt

It could be a great fit for that, depending on how much room you have and what angles you're using for the shot. The hand crank can move the camera up and down about a full foot, so that is nice for fine tuning the height without having to adjust the legs. The locks for both axis work well, too, so it will stay wherever you place it for a solid shot.

I'd recommend the dual-action. You'll have more control, and fine detail work. The single action is fine for me, spraying diorama scenery, etc.

It is good for line of sight. I would guess my furthest distance to have been about 700 yards when flying my Kadet Senior.
