What camera/lens/flash setup do we think Sinna Nasseri uses on the red carpet?
Helmet person has I think a Canon R1 or R3, though it could be an R5 with a portrait grip. Lens could be the 24-105 f/2.8. Presumably a similar body and different lens on the other shoulder. Sinna Nasseri then has a quite odd setup, to me that looks like a very small lens, perhaps adapted M mount, a

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

A selection of my pictures of Spa 2026 from all around the track. On Friday I walked all around the track for FP1 and FP2, there are many fun spots to take pictures from. On Saturday I took to La Source during FP3 and finally for quali and the race I was in the pit straight grand stand. Great views!
Thanks! I use a Canon R5 mark II with a Canon RF 100-500mm L lens. The lens is really really sharp, the R5m2's autofocus is crazy good and with the 45MP pictures it takes, you can crop even further, so some pictures are a 1000mm eqv zoom. Great to peak into the garages from the grandstand!

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)

In your experience, what are the most reliable mirrorless cameras your photographers have used on set?
Generally speaking, R5 Mark II. There are quirks I don’t like about the canon ecosystem, but they have the best tethering experience, 3rd party support (outside of lenses), and market penetration in the commercial world. Apparently the C1 beta wireless tethering support is working too. What are your

what's the best camera for sports photography that works best for indoor basketball and low light gym settings
If you really want the best, look at the Canon R5 II, Sony A1, or Nikon Z8. But even the best bodies won't get you good results without wide aperture lenses. Before you buy a new body, try shooting with an f2.8 zoom or an f1.8 prime lens. Personally, I usually shoot indoor basketball with prime lens

What is the best camera + lens setup for under 7,000 USD
Canon R5 II + RF100-500 L is an amazing setup. That’s what I use + a 1.4 extender every now and then and it works great (with some physical limitations). Or Canon R5II + RF 200-800.

Are there any cameras with good eye-controlled focus?
The R3 and R5 mark II have eye control AF. Not sure how well it works, but eye control on Canon's film cameras always worked flawlessly for me.
