More expensive digital cameras don't have this problem.
Tip 8 - Panning - For anyone who is taking an action shot using slower shutter speed, use panning for special effect. Follow the object by moving (panning) the camera from start to finish. One of those shots will likely turned out to be spectacular. You have great chance of getting a good shot if you take multiple photos.
Tip 9 - Continuous Shots - To pan as described in tip # eight above you will need a camera that has the function of taking continuous shots and doesn't need to stop and wait after every shot.
Tip 10 - How To Take Fantastic Night Time Shots - Night time shots can be spectacular, almost magical if done right. If not they can look horrible. Without adequate lighting, even a good camera can turn out really bad pictures if the photographer doesn't know what he or she is doing.
