i need help in looking for a slr or camera for taking surfin

[mikelosd]

hi,

i did not get into the forum for a while...

some years ago i used a sony mavica fd-97 for taking basic surfing sports photos...

it was good that time...

now i need a new camera to take 1. high resolutions sports action photos 2. great zoom as i have to take photos from the shore break (beach)

iam not very good at photography but iam going to make a course

iam thinking in taking a slr with a mount for great zoom up to 400...

could you recommend me any camera? perhaps canon eos.. or similar...

i can spend up to more less 1000 $

could it be eos d30???

thanks

mike
