I give for Air Eddie! (picture #3) Amazing!

What the heck kind of camera do you use to be able to get such fast shutter action? My camera has that annoying delay and the moment is gone before the picture is taken! I asked Dan to get me an upgrade! Now I need to see it he'll come through for me.

Thanks you guys! And, Corinne, on behalf of Eddie, we proudly accept the 5-paw rating!

I bought a Canon Digital Rebel 3 years ago and love it. I can get pictures as fast as I can press the shutter, and it also shoots in burst mode of 3 or so pictures a second.

I paid $1,000, but the same camera is down to $700 or so today. Nikon makes a great SLR for around $600.

The plus is the fast shutter speed and the fact that they use interchangeable lenses, i.e., you can buy telephotos and wide angles, etc. The downside is they're big and clunky. You can't tuck them in your purse. And telephoto lenses are expensive.

A trick for catching action on cheaper digitals is to press the shutter halfway and lock in the focus. Then when the dog hits the spot you're focused on, press it the rest of the way. It should be immediate.
