    The Canon T1i has a better AF system than the Sony A450/A500/A550, but it's not a lot better. The Sony is no slouch, and the Sony's sensor shift image stabilization would be handy when using a long...

    The unstabilized Sigma 70-200/2.8 sells for $800, though the Sigma website shows an MSRP of $1,200 (http://www.sigmaphoto.com/shop/70-200mm-f28-ex-dg-apomacro-hsm-ii-sigma). I couldn't find a listing...

    A zoom lens, like the Sigma 50-150/2.8 HSM or the 70-200/2.8 HSM that shoturtle mentioned, will give you more flexibility, and the T1i can capture good images at higher ISO settings, so that...

    If you're in the US, Adorama.com sells refurbished Canon dSLRs at reduced prices. You get a store warranty instead of a factory warranty, but for the same 1 year period. Adorama sells a refurbished...

    That lens isn't particularly suitable for much. The Tamron 70-300 Di LD is a better lens that costs about the same. In a pinch, either could be used for outdoor sports or wildlife, but they don't...

    Actually, of the cameras you mentioned, the only one that doesn't do 'Live View' is the Nikon. But for dSLRs, and especially for shooting sports, you shouldn't use 'Live View' anyway. DSLRs and the...

    They are all suitable for general purpose photography. But that's not what you want to do. What you want to do is quite difficult and quite specialized, and requires specialized equipment in order...

    None of the cameras, and especially none of the lenses are well suited to what you want to do. Shooting sports/action is tough. Doing it indoors is especially tough. The first thing you need to look...
