Try shooting with a higher frame rate.

The primes i like to use are 50m 1.4F 28mm 1.8F both of them are canon lenses and esily found on places like amazon.

My 2 cents. If you’re only concerned about keeping things in focus I’d say go with the video camera route. I have an HV 40 and love shooting with it.

It had autofocus which is great for quick shooting. And when you want to get fancy you need an irv wheel ($50) to make focusing easier.

This camera uses tape which is great if you’re out on the rave track you just have to pop in a tape instead of download footage. You just need extra batteries.

The camera doesn’t overheat.

And you’ll want a wide angle lens Raynox 6600 is one people love. I have the WD43 which I like.

Of you use a wide angle lens you’ll need a lens hood. You can order the xa-1 lens hood and be ready to go.

I love this video camera. But now Im doing less run & gun stuff and had to get a Dslr.

But you can’t go wrong with an HV40.

I do think I’m liking the DSLR and I believe I will learn more ways to get the quality I want. I recently went out to shoot a rider promo and some random race footage,with some of the suggested settings. I’m still a bit confused with the shutter speed though. Most often I hear “keep the shutter speed at twice the framerate” but then I also hear “up the shutter speed for fast moving objects”. These two videos below were shot at 720x60fps with a canon75-300mm lens, aperture between 10-15 and keep the iso between 100-200.(except for the interview portion were I am learning to shoot with a high aperture for DOF) Can you please view them and give me some feedback? Thanks!

Oh and also, the clips above were shot with the shutter speed at 125.
