So glad to have the Swallows back!
Thank you! Canon R5Mk2 + RF100-500. The auto focus ability of that combo is insane. It helps so much, but there is a ton of patience, getting to know the behavior of the animals as there is a pattern to their madness, and of course a ton of missed shots. Precapture is on, but only really makes a dif

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

New Photography Niche
Good luck. For a car show any camera will be fine. There's two types of fast. Fast lenses are low aperture number (very large opening) that catch a lot of light in low-light scenarios, like car shows inside big halls. The trade-off is insanely small focus area and insane price. Then there's fast fps

Focus-Points Plugin for Lightroom can now also 'Straighten Images'
This is very interesting and a potentially enormous benefit for sports shooting - especially bursts. LrC currently has an issue (which I reported and dcoumented with Adobe and they have in queue to repair) with Syncing across images related to Transform, rendering any sort of mass Transform-Leveling

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

Why *can't* the BMPCC4k be used for photography?
It can certainly be used for CERTAIN TYPES of photography but it certainly won’t be as well rounded of a “photo” tool as a Canon R5 mark ii. I mean you could certainly do staged photos and certain product photos but it would be awful to use for street photography because it doesn’t shoot fast enough

Just a mom with her camera
I posted a while ago, but I also shoot lacrosse and here are my recommendations: Getting a camera with fast autofocus and player tracking has been Huge for me. I moved from an R8 to the R5m2 (Canon). Won't go into the specs, but you can find similar cameras from Sony and Nikon. Preshooting and highs

Expanded Spot... Focusing on closest or most contrasty bit?
The 1dx, 1dx2 with single pt + 4pt surround was solid with tracking subjects. On R3, R5m2 with sports like soccer, football, basketball where many subjects are close to each other, turning off the advanced AF features like whole AF, eye AF, and even subject has been more consistent with AF tracking.
