Hello

If you can please help out a newbie, much appreciated. Have read everything i found in your archives related to the topic of shooting sports for the non-professional, but wanted to ask members directly for advice

Looking for a good camera for shooting team sports, in particular indoor basketball, track events, and soccer at highschool and college level. Looking for really good amateur level, not professional. As with many team sports, the action is a bit unpredictable. From reading what I have found, it appears I should be looking for a camera with the following specs. Please feel free to provide feedback and, if you have them, specific camera suggestions.

Specs - camera
ISO level up to 1600
Switchable between shutter, aperture, or ISO priority
Mirrorless design-? (to allow faster response time from button push to image capture)
Continuous focus and light metering.
Burst mode of at least 10 frames/second
Good fast large capacity SD card
Ability to upload to either apple or windows
Nice to have - water resistant body/lens
Other recommendations?

Specs -lens
Lens 1 50mm with f < 2.0. (Good general lens)
Lens 2 70-200 zoom with at least f/2.8 or lower

Use. Must have is to be able to shoot indoor basketball. Assume from sidelines/endline location and shooting distance is half court or less. Assume if we hit this, the other outdoor sports would also be covered. Would also like a good camera for general family that is not too large to be unwieldy being a tourist. On the wishlist (from my daughter) is to have a camera with which she can shoot her own videos, but not sure this should even be a consideration.

Not looking a professional level, or price!, but don't mind investing a reasonable amount for that will give me good images of the atheletes at critical moments (and yes, I know the biggest factor is me learning how to use it well in shooting these types of shots and understanding how to time my shots - will be working on that)


Your feedback on specs, additional considerations I have not mentioned, and/or specific cameras


Thanks in advance
