I can predict the squirrels habits and I'm willing to give it several nights of attempts so i am looking for input on this camera/lens combination.I'll mount the camera on a tripod at a 45 degree angle about 4 feet from anticipated squirrel trajectory using all manual settings for obvious reasons. I have furry dog toys that i can use to simulate for focus and experiment to some degree for other settings. I've had this camera for about 4 months and i am quite familiar with it, but i suppose my photography skills are still in the warming up stage. What could the fastest plausible shutter speed be in such a scenario?</blockquote>
