New pictures being away for an object, the most suitable lens to expand?

Dilemma from Marilyn G: Being new to photography what is the best lens for zooming in on far away objects?

I have a Canon Rebel XSi. It takes fantastic pictures. I would like to zoom in on objects, such as birds, sports, etc., but when I do they are blurry. I’ve looked at zoom lens but I don’t really even know what I am looking for.

It’s supposed to be about Being new to photography what is the best lens for zooming in on far away objects? that you may have to clear up conditions independantly. Preferably this will help to in lots of ways: in order to make your own life significantly better. Wishing supposed to be about Being new to photography what is the best lens for zooming in on far away objects? could very well be a way out later on in life.

Use a faster shutter speed or a tripod.

u shld think of buying a 70-300 mm or a 18-200mm if u want to get wide shoots also and sigma and tamron produces lens for canon and r cheap as compared to canon and u can opt for IS for preventing blurring now mainly all lens producer have it

if u want to good AF at high zoom end i.e. 300mm then go for f 3.5 it ll cost more

The issue may not be your lens. It may just be your technique. As a rule of thumb, the lowest shutter speed you can use handheld without getting blurry pictures is the inverse of the focal length. That means that with a 28mm lens, the slowest shutter speed you should use would be 1/28th of a second, which would really mean 1/30th in terms of full stops on a camera. With a 100mm lens, the slowest shutter speed you should use handheld would be 1/100, which would mean 1/125th of a second on your camera. For 200mm lenses, the inverse is 1/200th, so you would use a minimum of 1/250th of a second shuttter speed on your camera. When you start using these faster shutter speeds, you often find yourself needing to use larger apertures (f stops). This is why the kit zooms and other cheap zooms are bad lenses- they don’t have a very wide range of f stops, so you end up having to boost your ISO instead. If you can’t afford a telephoto zoom that goes to f2.8, consider a telephoto prime lens that does. For instance: http://www.keh.com/Product-Details/1/CE06999037089R/CE06/FE.aspx

That 200mm lens would be the equivalent of a 300mm lens on your crop sensored camera. For a professional quality canon “L” lens, that is a fantastic price, and it has the speed you need to be able to shoot at the shutter speeds required to keep your pictures from being blurry. The other advantage to it is that if you ever decide to go to a full frame body like a 5d, that lens will work perfectly on it as well. That is the kind of lens that you keep and use for decades.

good luck!

Don’t you hate it when you accidentally buy stuff? The one thing I’m worried about is being able to do motion video as you see in here I’m not exactly in …
