It's odd this year though. The USGA is changing the requirements for the different levels. So if you were level 5 last season and are ready to move up a level, you'll technically still be called level 5 this next season because of the reqs change. |

I did take KS 1s/champ in Vault, and placed top 3 in all other events including all around in Class 3. and Placed 3rd in pommels at Regionals. Went to Bart Connor's camp in Norman once; I remember him showing up in a white Ferrair 380 GTB . It got WAY to hard to keep up with 5 practice nights a week 4-8m and keep up in High School. Some of the best times of my life during my 'career'.

Either way, for you gymnastics shooting, I'd look for something that can go down to f/2.8 or lower. |

That's the f-stop. The smaller the f-stop number = the wider the aperture = more available light in the lens.
For the indoor sports shooting (without a flash), you'll need a "fast" lens, one that can open to a wider aperture. I'd shoot for f/2.8, f/2.4, or f/1.8. Most of your kit lenses will maybe go to f/4.5 or thereabouts - that's not wide enough to get a decent shutter speed indoors, and you'll need that shutter speed to stop the action. |

so I went to a small camera shop over lunch.
they didn't have any DSLRs, but they did have the mirrorless cameras. ? Any pros or cons on this. The particular one I was looking at (they didn't have a large selection at all) was the same price as the Nikon 3200 etc. only mirrorless....and "Panasonic" (not sure if that should concern me or not).

I also absolutely hate the small frame of my 3100. It's uncomfortable capturing images and is horrible for free handing video when things are tight. I was going to add a pack to it to see if it helped much, but after using the camera a while I knew I wasn't keeping it so I didn't bother. I've been watching the used market, but being on the fence has kept me from snagging anything. I'm going to be able to get my hands on just about every camera in the range I'm looking at during a trip to Colorado this summer, so hopefully I'll be able to sort it out. |

Wonder if the refurbished cameras are good; in that they won't go tits up in a year.

That's a good lens. If you can find a Mark I, it's got a metal mount (Mark II is plastic). I grabbed the f/1.4 USM a couple months ago, and I don't think I've taken it off the body since.
