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

Does the camera I want exists yet ?

Canon R6II (US$ 2000) + RF16mm f/2.8 + RF 45mm f/1.2 would be my choice for architecture, landscape and low light in that budget. But for what you have discribed I sincerely would just replace the six year old cellphone with a brand new Iphone or top line Samsung and take pictures with that while a

Dance photos

I’m a professional theatre and Ballet shooter, my wide camera (24-70) has to stay at f/5.6 and as slow of a SS as needed to stop most of the motion so a minimum of 160. My iso lives on auto. My darkest plays can hit iso 25,600. On my 70-200 camera I’m allowed to shoot all the way down to f/2.8 and s

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

How much difference does drizzling make?

Please understand what an anti-alias filter does. People use very short focal lengths with very sharp lenses, e.g. Milky Way photography and produce images with round stars with accurate color. The OPs Canon R6II has anti-alias filters and produces good star images at any focal length and lens sharp

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

Canon r6 mark ii or Nikon z6iii ?

Working wedding and portrait photographer here. After using a 28-70 f2, I could never let it go. My main body is an r5ii with r6ii as secondary, but to be honest, r5ii is overkill and the r6ii is incredible and never feels lacking, while performing noticeably better at higher iso. At this point, any

Possibly the most visually stunning display of gorget iridescence I’ve ever captured

SettingsKeep your ISO only as high as it needs to be.If the bird is perched, you can lower your shutter speed if you’re okay with the possibility of missing a sudden flyaway. Focal length is inversely proportional to subject distance. I had to shoot this at 800mm because getting closer would’ve spoo

(Lots of Questions) When do I buy and what do I buy as a Photography Major?

Usually I'd say Canon/Nikon/Sony, get the best modern mirrorless your budget allows, plus spare battery, blah blah. That's because I went from a 700D (euro designation, might be a T5i or something in the US) to a R6ii, because I had the extra money and I was in love with the hobby (still am). Yes, t

Beginner, using Canon EOS Rebel XS (2008)

If you are not able to change your iso, shutter speed and aperture like it’s second nature, don’t do it. It’s like driving manual transmission, only do it if you think you can do it better and faster than the car’s automatic transmission. Change at most one parameter. In your case, for sports, I wou
