There is this saying "Cameras don't take photos, people do."
Think about it for a moment. You want to create effective photos, you got to master the craft.
If you wanna shoot great kid photos, the place to start is your technique, not your camera. Most photographers starting out think getting such and such camera and with a lens with a large maximum aperture or a wide zoom range is gonna automatically result in great photos. Getting the right gear can help but only up to a point. The best shots of kids come about because the photographer can visualize the shot and know how to execute it, and do it consistently.
Instead of discussing the merits of whether lens A vs lens B is better at taking photos of kids, you would be better off spending your time to research how photographers who shoot kids for a living go about doing it. Know their tips and techniques on how to engage children to get the best out of them (eg. give them a toy/prop to keep them preoccupied).
People who ask "what's the best lens for shooting kids" or "what's the the best camera for shooting kids" are asking the wrong question. That lens or camera alone can't help if you don't know how to go about using it.
Here's a shot of a kid speeding on a bike. That kid was zipping by pretty fast. The shot was taken at 1/40 sec at f/8 at ISO 100. Now just about any DSLR can achieve this exposure combination... Camera was the K20D with FA 77mm.
Hmm now im always using AV or SV mode...
But wat do ya mean by panned the camera?
And also, whenever i tried to use TV mode, the pic will come out totally black
which im i dunno y..........
Heehee ok.......sorry and pardon for my noobieness.....
Im trying to take some pics of my daughter who is always running around....
Cant even keep still for few secs...and im not too sure how fast the speed i should set
so i agar agar
Btw, i tried again yesterday using lower speed like u said 400 and it came out quite good
Will try to figure out more...i even took some pics of the water dripping from the tap,

Hopefully someone can organise some outings in the west soon..............:angel:
