Alot of Rolling shots with friends!
I've noticed that almost every single time someone posts some good pictures up the first couple questions are "what kind of camera was used"?.
I've been taking pictures for 12 years(im 24yrs old now), and have sold them for 3 years in the past, and the one important thing ive learned is that it doesn't matter what type of camera your using(to a certain extent). Skills is what makes pictures good.
For all we know this couldn't been taken with a $200 point & shoot. Maybe it was a $3,000 Pro SLR? Who knows, they could've been taken with either one.
The reason I bring this up is because I don't want to see you go and buy an expensive camera that someone used on a photoshoot only because they came out like they did, and then you go home and snap some pics and become dissapointed when they don't come out like you were expecting.
*Btw, rolling shots are some of the easiest in my opinion to take, as long as you use the right shutter speed. Not slow though
ANYWAY, haha nice pics man. Love the ones of the Brembo calipers. Would make a nice poster.

I agree with your point to some degree, but not completely. These were not taken with a point and shoot. And action, specifically rolling shots are where you can see the difference with a good camera and lesser. I don't have the experience you do, but am not completely green. I used to rock and still do my old Canon AE-86. Couple years ago I reluctantly started thinking digital. Thing is, I went cheap digital first, more expensive digital next and still am not happy with image quality/ action work with it. I don't want to throw down 3K on a high end SLR but am asking people what they work with when I see good work. Is that OK?

No need for an expensive camera. Just a couple photo tips from some good book or websites and you'll be set.

I love rolling shots especially of that quality. Everyone of those cars looked awesome. Sitting here on a cold rainy november day these pics have me praying for spring/summer already.

Not to bash or anything but , whom every is asking , just likes to know what camera was used that's all. Yes I agree with you on the some of you're points about the in between camera pricing/using of a camera takes skill. People just like to know what camera was used, that's all, nothing to important.
