There are so many reviews at all the different web sites that sell cameras. Some people love the camera's they bought while the person reviewing right after them will absolutely hate it. I'm on a budget up to $500. This camera will be for sports shots of my kids participating in soccer, hockey, and baseball. PLEASE HELP Thanks!!


Answer
At that budget, you may be looking at purchasing a used DSLR with something like a 55-200mm or 70-300mm lens.

A DSLR because they are the only cameras that have a small enough shutter lag to "catch" the action when you press the shutter release.

A long lens to be able to get good tight shots of the players.

You can buy a new DSLR for under $500, but it will not have THE lens you really need.

Found small white specs in backside of dslr camera lens?

I bought a dslr d3200 and after a few weeks of having I noticed the backside of the 18-55mm lens has specs inside of it. How in the world would that happen? Since ive put in the lens ive taken it out maybe once and always use the lens caps immediately to avoid dust getting anywhere at all. I dont notice anything within the photos, but seriously...why should I decide not to return the camera kit? I bought it brand new sealed from costco, is this common to find specs inside a lens? What are my chances if I return and re-buy that the new cameras lens would also have specs in it?


Answer
The kit lens breathes (inhales and exhales air) as you adjust focus and zoom. This will suck in dust as you adjust the lens. Many cheaper zoom lenses breathe. Dust on the inside lens elements will not be noticeable on your images. However, dust on your sensor will be clearly visible under certain conditions. Fortunately, the sensor cleaning mechanisms all manufacturers use these days are pretty effective at removing dust from the sensor.

Use a Giottos Rocket Blower to clear out the dust bunnies. The medium or large blower is recommended. The small size isn't as effective.
