Planespotting in RVSM airspace

Canon R5 Mark II with a 100-500mm f/4.5-5.6L lens. I always have that and at least 3 more lenses with me in my flight bag. It sucks to carry around but these types of photos is why I do it.

Why the Pocket 4K needs a V2

For what it’s worth I’m a full time videographer (not cinematographer) working closely with brands such as Amazon, Uber, Honda, Tourism Australia etc. My daily is the pocket 4K, original, with the ultra speed booster for a full frame circle and I have to say the new Nikon ZR, canon R5II etc are clos

Most photographers don’t need better gear, they need better taste

If you have no skills, you’re still likely to take lousy photos whether you have $100 worth of gear or $20,000 worth of gear. Once you have a certain level of skill, lower quality gear can absolutely hold you back, especially if you’re shooting fast-moving subjects or in low light. Sports photograph

At Most, How Much do Digitally Zoom In to a Shot?

Sports/adventure videographer/dp here. Often run Canon R5IIs (previously R5, R5C) in difficult environments (heavy snow primarily). The R5II stands out as having pretty great dynamic range for a MILC style body, internal 12bit raw (no need for external recorders adding bulk and compromising sealing)

Immigrant from Canon, settled on S1M2. Never knew I would ever own Lumix! Any tips?

I agree.. I upgraded to R5M2 from R6 (mainly for the extra resolution for birding). But already picked up a S5M2X and S9 before the upgrade (for video and to have a lighter everyday camera). By now, for another body or upgrade (from S5M2X) I would rather want a S1M2 than a R6M3 or C50. Canon is nice

Thinking of getting an R7 and 100-400 RF

I would add an adapted, used Canon EF 100-400 II to your list, it's brighter in the forest. If your main concern is weight and size, then the R7 + RF 100-400 is not only good, but the best available from Canon, no matter the price. My friend uses the R7 + RF 100-400 for everything birding and it may

Had an incredible encounter with a Great-horned Owl

Thank you! The body is a Canon R5m2 and lens is RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 (you can see image settings in the screenshot in my other comment). I shot on a Canon 80D + Sigma 150-600mm lens for a long time until I was able to afford the upgrade and I can definitely see & feel the difference!

Lumix s5m2 high res mode vs canon r5m2 45mp

"left canon, right Lumix" This is just mind blowing. To all who purchased the(I purchased S5iiX) S5ii or S5iiX, you are really smart. The feature of being able to do 96MP raw file is what closed it for me. Just use that tripod you purchased years ago, the raw files are insane in detail. I purchased

My photo of the Jerami Grant dunk!

I think the R3, at the time, was overpriced - now, it's "okay". My main body is actually the R5mk2! Which I think the R5 series is the best bang for buck, it's fast enough, it has a higher MP, and all needs like Pre-Capture. The lens is what Canon has over Sony, but honestly if I were to start from

Resist the temptation of a Canon R6 II

I've just moved from R5ii + 100-500L to OM kit. I now use the OM-1ii with the 300 f/4 Pro, 50-200 f/2.8 Pro, and both TCs. I don't notice any compromise to the subject detection AF, or AF speed. I also don't see any significant difference in real-world image quality unless you are pixel-peeping. Wha
