Ya, 5.3fps versus 3.7fps

Do I necessarily need that much zoom to start with?

My "action/sports" will be more or less my kids in action, and their sports when they start playing rather than professional type sporting events. Does that still fit the action/sports you were considering? (should have specified that earlier, sorry)


Thanks for the help everyone.
