Air show photography is challenging, as filling the frame with a distant aircraft requires a powerful lens, which in turn needs a steady hand and decent light. Shooting aircraft at 100mph or faster is also tricky, especially when you can't just knock the shutter speed up to l/500sec, as you need to keep the props pleasingly blurred. Choosing the right photo equipment tilts the odds in your favour, and in this guide we reveal a range of cameras that deliver excellent image quality (measured in megapixels - MP), great zoom potential, fast continuous shooting, video filming and maximum value for money.
