Digital Camera issue 73 on sale now!

This month, we want to take the fear out of photographing fast action. We know it can be daunting having to quickly dial in the right settings on your camera, focus on the subject and track them through the viewfinder, all the time worrying about the composition and whether your shutter speed is giving you the action-stopping (or blur inducing) results you want.
But it doesn't have to be. In this special issue we've got expert advice from pros who do it day-in, day-out, and their simple tips will help fast-track your photography skills.
We've also got some top gear tests this issue, with the Canon EOS 450D, Sony A350 and, perhaps, the ultimate photographer's compact, the Sigma DP1.
