Anyone come from Canon?

I use Canon Mirrorless at work (R6ii) and shoot Nikon for myself for 10+ years. The canon is nice, for sure, better AF than the Mk 1 and 2 z6's, it can do 4k60 with almost no crop, very capable hybrid. Colors are pretty good, a bit cold overall. Lenses are nice, but the ecosystem is pretty locked of

Them to upgrade to full frame do I stay canon or go sony? (R6 ii vs a7 iii)

I switched from a73 to r6ii. A73 was revolutionary at the time, but its been a long time since and Canon has caught up and new tech is noticably better. Sure you get more lens selection, but IMO, once you get the gear you like, you dont really use a variety of lenses Id rather take better noise redu

Canon C80/C400 vs FX3/FX6

Shooting a basketball doc right now with the C400, C50, and the Komodo X sometimes. The C400 and C50 are magic together and I assume the c80 as well. The codecs are beefy, the image is instantly gorgeous, and the bodies are miles above the fx6/fx3 for flexibility. The canon cinema cameras let me sho

What’s a GAS purchase you regret and one that you can’t live without ?

THE REGRET (huge lettering): Buying Canon R6 II for better AF, after two decades of Nikon....... Canon is plain terrible on too many details. Can't live without: Z8 + Plena. Everything I do, I do with that combo... When there is a wider need, I just grab Tamron 28-75mm G2.. Enough.

Switching to Lumix S1RII (or S1II) for professional photography?

I personally went with the s1ii and having come from a canon r6ii I find the AF performance quite similar in real-world use, and the canon r6ii is an AF beast so that's quite the praise for the s1ii. It handles candid shots of moving subjects extremely well even in low light it holds focus very impr

Which camera to get after being a Canon SLR guy

Hate to say it, but Canon R6ii with a little prime lens and the new Godox IT30pro mini ETTL flash on the adjustable flash riser freaking rocks. I use it for fill and to trigger a big Godox V100 or AD200 off camera key light as needed. The RF 50mm F1.8 stm is as good as the EF 50mm F1.2L when you sto

Make this make sense, GH7 costs more than the full frame S5II

Different use cases. May I remind you the GH5 came out in 2017 for $2k. And the original S5 launched in 2019 also for $2k. You should be comparing it more to the S5IIX. Or idk, like a Canon R6ii to the C70 (except not costing $5.5k, the audacity). One's a hybrid camera with surprisingly robust video

Back to Nikon - hooray!

The irony is that I had that exact complaint 12 years ago; I was running dance photography workshops as part of a (contemporary) dance festival I was running, and I’d hired a lot of cameras for participants. High ISO handling was featured with these Canon models, but I found I was having to use insa

Slowly becoming frustrated with the lack of innovation from Pentax

I got frustrated with the K1's auto focus performance when shooting live music in low light venues and decided to look for an alternative. I looked at the mid range mirrorless options from Canon, Nikon and Sony e.g R6ii, R8, Z5ii, A7iv. None of them have close to the K1's ergonomics or feature set.
