If you were lucky enough to have tickets to the Premier league championships final and you were supporting Manchester United, then you are probably still celebrating the fact that they have walked away with the championship title.

The match was claimed to be one of the most thrilling and exciting finishes to the season and newspapers along with sky news are showing shots of the thrilling goals.

However while we stick those photos in our scrapbooks and pin them on our walls, do we ever stop to consider the equipment used to capture those magical moments in football.

Stood on the sideline with those huge cameras with lenses that seem to stretch endlessly, it cannot be easy to get the shot with the action coming from all sides.

Even if the players are near the goal you cannot always guarantee that your view point will be clear.

A good zoom lens of course would be needed as would plenty of memory.

A large SD memory card to boost your chances of not running out of memory and catching the goals is essential.

What could be more disastrous than having Ronaldo walk up to the penalty spot, place the ball and run for the kick and “click” the memory on the camera is full.

Of course professionals should know that extra storage is a must, however what about all the fans who wish to capture their teams historic moment out there on the pitch.

The Nikon Coolpix range would be fine choices if you want a digital camera as opposed to a camera phone, the majority of them are slim lined and have excellent zoom.

The Nikon Coolpix S6 is a good choice and slips into your pocket easily as does the Nikon Coolpix S9, in fact these two are very much alike in looks.

The advantage of the Coolpix S6 over many models of digital camera is that it comes with built in Wi-Fi connection.

This means that you are able to transfer any photos you take directly on the SD memory card to your PC or laptop instead of having to use cables.

There is a very large viewing screen on the model with a swivel of 170 degrees, which makes taking shots quick and easy and is ideal for sporting events.

This is also a bonus when it comes to showing off your skills as photographer to your mates.

The sensor is 6 megapixels which gives you excellent quality shots and there is a 3 x optical zoom to ensure that you get right into the action.

You will need to make sure that you have adequate SD memory card storage to be able to take full advantage of the camera and also to make good use of the ability of being able to save slideshows that play in time to music on the cameras screen.
