The European Championship is just around the corner! Wondering what this has to do with cameras? We think that whether you're at the stadium, taking photos at a public viewing or want to capture the atmosphere at home, you need the right camera! On this page we present our favourites with matching lenses and accessories.
Mirror reflex cameras for sports photography
What do you need to look out for? A fast shutter speed is particularly important: anything from a 1000th upwards is suitable. This allows you to capture the fast players without motion blur. Of course, a fast and reliable autofocus system with cross-type sensors for precise focussing is also crucial for sharp photos. In addition, our DSLR favourites offer you automatic refocusing of your subject. This ensures that your scene is always in focus and therefore sharp. You should also pay attention to the maximum number of images per second. The higher the continuous shooting rate, the better for sports photography.
As an accessory, you need a fast SD card with a high write rate in order to be able to use the maximum number of continuous images. Of course, you will need a fast telephoto lens and you should treat yourself to a monopod for sufficient stability despite the heavy telephoto zoom. Everything is well protected in the photo rucksack - let the European Championships begin!
For photo enthusiasts: Brand new and very responsive SLR camera with impressive dynamic range for the best contrast gradations, up to 7 frames per second, 24 MPixels, intuitive controls and WiFi.
With 10 frames per second, responsive autofocus and a wide range of AF settings, the 7D Mark II is made for sports photography. Together with the fast telephoto lens, your sporting subjects are guaranteed to be sharp, captured in superb image quality and shown in the right light. Get it by 15 May and save twice with the Canon Lens promo and upgrade bonus!

Not in the mood for the European Championships, but always on the go? Whether you're active yourself or prefer to photograph others doing sport: discover our compact and action camera favourites for sporting motifs and find the model that suits you best.
The brand new compact camera from Panasonic is the perfect companion thanks to its 10x zoom and 20.1 megapixels. Thanks to its speed, you can also capture fast-moving subjects. The TZ101 is also stylish when travelling and can be carried in your pocket. The same applies to the more attractively priced HX90. Nevertheless, with a 30x optical zoom, retractable OLED Tru-Finder and its unique compactness, it offers you everything you need for your mission.
Want more action and robustness? Then choose either the popular GoPro or the TG-4, the GoPro in the HERO 4 model with 30 frames per second, impressive 4K videos and of course the famous and proven 1-button control. If you are looking for even more robustness and like to see what you are filming, the TG-4 might be a better fit. It is waterproof up to 15 metres without a housing, is dustproof and offers you a high-resolution 3-inch display.
4K videos with 30 frames per second from
cool, headlamp-like perspective are no problem thanks to our bundle with the matching headband! With the HERO 4, you can enjoy twice the processing power of previous models. The headband is fully adjustable, so it fits all heads and can be worn over a helmet or directly on the head.
With its impressive 10x zoom, 1-inch sensor and 20.1 megapixels, the brand new TZ101 can handle any subject. Mega stylish and compact, it is the perfect companion, especially when travelling and on city trips!
As the successor to the successful HX60, the Sony HX90V shines as one of the smallest digital cameras, above all with 30x optical zoom and retractable OLED Tru-Finder.
With the TG-4, you are always ready to capture full HD videos, all kinds of sporting motifs or even snapshots underwater, even without a housing, at depths of up to 15 metres and thanks to the five underwater functions. The latest professional outdoor camera from the Tough series is also dust-proof, extremely robust and equipped with clever macro functions such as focus stacking.
