[QUOTE="Bingo76, post: 824628, member: 53631"] Sorry aware this is a 'all the gear, no idea' kinda post :) Looking for some advice please. Still very much an amateur, mainly taking shots of outdoor kids sports games (GAA and rugby). I was having some decent success with my 15yr old D5000 and 70-300mm lens and was producing some nice shots - although I was always simply using Auto or Sports mode (with no other customisation at all) I took the plunge at the weekend and bought a D500 which I know is way beyond me, but is gorgeous and I'll hopefully grow into (and never out of!) I've just come back from a sports shoot now, and while some of the pics are amazing, I had a much better good:bad pic ratio with my d5000. Lots of blurred/not so sharp pics I know I'll need to invest a decent amount of time learning the camera, but does anyone have some advice on good shortcut settings, while I'm still getting up to speed. I was use P shooting mode, Qc release, AF-C Grp focus mode. Any thoughts/advice very welcome! NB - Still have the D5000 as a backup :) [/QUOTE]
