I shoot sporting type of events with my DSLR and i use a sturdy monopod for most of it.Unless i really need to move around a lot then i hand hold.Its not bad to do at 1/1000 or 1/1250. I sometimes shoot pictures for work related things and then i use a tripod,Manfotto 028 as we tend to take a series of shots in a panoramic setting. The noise on the D1 is poor past iso 400-800 and time is really bad.I hear the D2H takes care of this much better.
