I'd start with a shutter speed of 1/500 and let the ISO on your D300s range all the way to 3200. If that doesn't work, you may need a faster lens. Flash won't help.

I was wondering if your recommendations for shooting basketball and other fast-paced indoor sports would work for an evening baseball game from 8 pm to about 10 with lighting around the filed. I shoot baseball shots of all the teams in my son's league and this is the first year they have played late in the evening. I need help please? Hey there!

I cannot wait to get some perfectly exposed indoor basketball shots tomorrow night! My old d40 never had any sort of feature like this, and it made PP so much more time consuming! Given the fact that the d40 is more noisy at 1600 ISO than the d300 is at 3200, I can finally shoot at f/4 with at least a 1/500 speed. Every. Single. Time.

Depends on what I’m trying to achieve. For stopping the action, the sky’s the limit; but realistically, 1/800 would be “ideal.” I’m seldom able to reach that, unfortunately, given the dismal lighting that exists most places. 1/250 is generally good enough to freeze the action with flash or strobes, again, given the poor Loaded question!
