[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 625228, member: 9240"] 1/1250s sounds fast, but at 600mm with a moving target it's not as fast as you think. 1/250s is cross your fingers speeds. Shooting moving objects takes time and practice. 1/(focal length x 2) is my [I][B]minimum shutter speed [/B][/I]on a DX camera of over 20MP's which is right where you're at. Anything slower for me is a crap shoot if either it or I am moving, and the longer the lens the more the adjustment. Birds in flight with my 150-600mm Sport ([I]heavier and longer)[/I] requires a minimum of 1/1600s handheld and 1/2000s if I'm panning if I want a good hit ratio. And above all of this, make sure you have the right focus mode and your settings within the mode are right. [/QUOTE]
