Photographing Horses Jumping Fences Please advise: I would like the best image of horses jumping fences at shows. Which Nikon camera is best for action shots? The D2H is 8F/sec, the D70 is 3F/sec. Is this burst rate? Shutter speeds seem to be the same for all three models. Cost is not an issue, within reason: $3,000 max. Autofocus seems to be a necessity.

Check http://www.dpreview.com/ I believe the D2H is the fastest for action shots, but it's pricey...

Autofocus doesn't have to be a necessity, especially for something like horse shows. Prefocus on the jumps, and timing will get you through depending on burst rate, which is what the 8 frames/sec is. You'll need to consider which lens you're going to buy just as much as camera body. So don't use all your budget just on the body.

When you say you want to get the 'best image' of showjumpers--I'd like to point out that each riding discipline aspires to attain a certain 'look'. ie--hunter/jumpers most often like a 'classic' shot from 90 degrees (at right angles) While there is always room for a different approach--if you are looking to sell--just be aware that your riders and owners have certain expectations.
