I have an opportunity to shoot this weekend's Belmont Stakes from the Press Area. I want to carry 2 Nikon digital SLRs and a bunch of lenses, from the 80-400zoom down to the 14mm wide angle; I own a D1X (no upgrade) and a D100 and usually shoot RAW. I have been thinking of buying either the D70 or the D2H. As the horses come down the stretch, I will have about 10 seconds to shoot. WHICH camera would you trust to get me the most focused exposures?? Also, would using a 200mm fixed lens be better than the 80-400 or 70-300 zoom? How about shooting Jpeg instead of RAW?? Any pointers would be much appreciated.
