a9 II

I’ve been shooting for magazines and corporate for 15 years. The Z8 and Z9 are the best cameras I’ve ever used, even beating out my Sony A9ii and A1 (for my shooting style). I’m glad Nikon is on the old flagship recule schedule and not releasing new bodies every two years. The firmware updates are p

You need fast f 2.8 glass for indoor sports. You can’t blow your whole budget on camera body and put a cheap narrow aperture slow focusing lens on it and expect much improvement. Third party lens support on Sony is your best bet. A used A9, A9ii, A74, or A7iii is the body, Tamron 28-75 or Tamron 70-

For wildlife, the best (almost) no caveat systems would be OM System or Sony. Some of the most important features for me would be a stacked sensor with decent buffer, pre-capture, and blackout free shooting (which is essential for birds in flight). Canon freezes up when the buffer is full, Nikon lac

I made a similar post recently and was told used Sony A9 or A9ii would be the best options, but that was photography only. Both A9’s have a stacked sensor which is unique to the flagship models so it’s really good for action shots and high fps. I don’t believe they are the greatest for video though.

I have had a lot of success with my A9ii. Wrestling, isn't a particularly fast sport, so I think the A9iii would be overkill, and from a workflow standpoint I think the 50 MP images of the A1ii would cause trouble for me. Either camera you have mentioned would be great, but my A9ii works well. Ideal

Others have explained why this happened. I just wanted to add: If you ever get to a point, where you need silent shooting / electronic shutter in sports photography, look for cameras with “stacked” sensors. Like the Sony A9, A9II, A9III and the A1 cameras. They have much faster readout, in the singl

I moved to a Zf to shoot for personal trips alongside my work A9ii’s. Once I saw how snappy that camera was in comparison (and the price difference) I jumped ship and sold my Sony gear. I’ve been working with the Z9’s for an over a year and absolutely love them.

A Sony a7iii would be a great camera to start on. Pair it with a 24-70 2.8 and you'll be set for CrossFit classes and local throw downs. You'll need a longer lens for bigger comps because you won't be on the floor unless you get media credentials, but the 24-70 is more than enough for everything els

the only sony cameras which shoot faster is the a9, a9ii, a9iii, a1, and a1i ii also 1/8000th which your camera can do is way faster than you will ever need it seems like you are using 1/100th

The most common mistake camera buyers make is to spend more than 75% of their budget on the camera body and then compromise on lenses. If your lens only opens up to f4 either you go to a slower shutter speed which is worse at freezing motion or you crank the ISO which lowers image quality. It is wor
