Anyone know a good SLR Digital Camera that does well at taking pictures of sporting events. Significant other wants to "stop water" in air when he goes thru puddles on his dirt bike. Any ideas???

Take a look at the Nikon D70 (DSLR).
It has a maximum shutter speed of 1/8000th of a second. That should freeze anything short of Mach 2.
Just remember, when you shoot at very high speed, you need plenty of light.

vs 6meg on the D70. The 20D is also faster with about 5fps (frames per second) vs 3fps for the D70.
I've not tried shooting any picture at the shutter speed above 1/4000 sec. Most film camera, and good DSLR camera allow taking a picture equal to or faster than that speed. I did shoot some waterfall pictures at the shutter speed around 1/2000 sec and water seem to stop. In many sport action, such as rowing, the water splash seem to stop and able to be viewed as the stream. HOwever, make sure there's enough light regard the appropriate aperture. Hope this is any helpful to you. Good luck.
Does anyone own the Canon EOS Digital Rebel? I have looked a lot a that one.
