Here is my website taking picture using Lumix 12x iA w/ Leica Lens. I am going to upgrade to another camera in $700 range. So far, all pocket hand-held camera cannot take great badminton picture. www.superbirdbadminton.com Any Suggestion in price range:$500-$800 for indoor badminton.
^^Dear Eddie..^^ ..for a camera body for baddy action in that price range and if you don't mind, you can look into the Used section @ Craiglist.com... These are Canon bodies: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/pho/1486865239.html http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/ele/1482082093.html http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/pho/1481935677.html (body only) http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/pho/1480521744.html (body only).. These are Nikon bodies: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/ele/1487414021.html http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/pho/1487401098.html http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/pho/1486952419.html Lenses, you need fast ones (big aperture openings) & you can rent them if you like. You can buy a brand new camera body & lens package, but i'm afraid the lens included might not be fast enough.

What warning you got from my website???? Are you warning ME or My website is warning YOU???? Don't understand.
err, it should be I'm telling you that a warning about possible malicious software popped up when I accessed your website.
Scan your computer I think you need to scan your computer. So far I haven't heard from anyone else about this beside YOU. I have all my players checked out my website, I don't hear anything about malicious software.
I guess you're all set with manual focussing on these classic lenses. Your best bet would be to get a Canon 5D or 5D mkII and use a EF-Leica R lens mount adaptor available over EBay. Get those with a AF-confirm chip for easier shooting though its not absolutely necessary with Canon cameras. As far as I recall, M mount flange distance is too short for most modern DSLR systems. The only one that would fit it is the Micro 4/3 system from Oylmpus/Panasonic. But those are not full-frame nor are they considered to be in the top tier of digital sensor performance. BUT ... a big but there... they still outperform films in most forms of 'general shooting'. Albeit, you only get about 1/2 the useable lens area in every shot, so the perspective of shooting on them is quite different from classic 35mm film.
