Why are my sports photos blurry?
The most common reason for blurry action shots is movement. When a camera shutter opens, the sensor captures light and sends it through the lens to be projected onto film or digital media. This process takes time, so even if you’re standing still while shooting an object in motion, it will appear blurry on your photo.

Is the D200 better than the D700 for sports photography?
Overall speaking, the D700’s Multi-CAM 3500 AF module is far superior to the D200’s Multi-CAM 1000. I have both cameras. The D3 and D300 also use the same Multi-CAM 3500, but it is optimized for sports photography. The Multi-CAM 3500 has 51 AF points and 15 of those 51 are cross type. Those are the more sensitive ones.

How do you Keep Your Nikon D700 from getting fuzzy?
If you’re way out-of-focus you’ll get a fuzzy first shot, but you won’t miss it and the D700 will be in focus for the next shots as fast as it can. Rear AF Sensor Mode Switch: I usually set it to the top setting, the Big White Rectangle. This means D700 magically picks the right sensors itself.
