Best camera for photographing dogs?

Just wondered which digital camera is best for photographing dogs? Especially when they are in motion!

I currently have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20 and a Sony DSC-HX9V, both of which I find have slow shutter speeds and give me blurry photos more often than not.

So any thoughts?

Depends how much you want to spend ??
I just bought the Fuji Finepix F550EXR about £3 - 400 it's not by any stretch the most expensive camera however it is towards the top end of the point and shoot lot

I find it has a brill sports mode and takes some good piccies of the dogs in motion. It has dog/cat facial recognition and a good burst mode cane take up to 16 pictures in a matter of about 2 seconds There's an automatice mode and a DIY mode too
And an excellent 15x zoom - here's a couple of shots from it . ..

Zoomies Sports mode



burst mode





Black and white


Automatic


I love it It's small enough to tuck inside a pocket too
