My wife wants a new camera, partially to take video of our kids playing baseball, often at a distance. How would this camera perform, particularly with zoom to capture far away action? null

Question

Nathan · Accepted Answer

This camera is very capable of capturing high quality images of action sports. However, if you are wanting to fill the frame with your child, I would recommend a telephoto lens to see upclose. Something like a 70-200mm lens or anything with a longer focal length than 70mm.

If paired with the kit lens that is stabilized it will work well, there is better for higher prices but this is a good value for high quality pictures and video

Hi, the camera will have no problem keeping the kids in focus while zoom. Please note that if you want to capture the video from further distance you might need a longer zoom lens than the 16-50mm.

The zoom will depend on the lens you use and the distance you need to capture. The camera itself has the capability to perform for your wife’s needs, but research which type of lens is good for capturing what you need:)
