a9 II

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

I have used the A9/A9II some as rentals. Personally I don't think the Z5II will be a much of an upgrade to your A9. The Z5II's electronic shutter will be to slow for hummingbirds and any wing movement. You would need to shoot with the mechanical shutter at 11fps to not have the "rolling shutter" eff

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

Here is the bad news: You need a bigger budget. What is your Safari total budget before photography gear. I think a more realistic budget would be $2,000 for a camera body, about the same for lenses. You will need a telephoto lens that will cover from 200 to 500mm and getting to 600mm would be even

Fuji are known for having not that great AF-C I would rather look at either 2nd hand mirorless with stacked sensor (stacked sensor allows for more frequent AF sampling which is massive advantage when target is changing speed, and faster fps) Sony a9 / a9ii (a9 would be cheapest allowing to spend mor

If your sons play in well lit rinks then the f4 would be fine. That said, I'd say half the barns I've ever played in / shot pictures in have god awful lighting, so you're making a gamble on your equipment vs the facilities that they're going to be playing in. I don't know anything about Canon gear,

My only issue with the getting the lens first, is that with a crop sensor, the 100-500 may be too much reach to cover the action easily. So I would go with the 100-400 recommendation there. I suggested the a9/a9ii because of the stacked sensor, blackout free EVF, and the still awesome autofocus capa

a9 and a9ii have the same sensor, if you are on a budget look for a clean used a9... it's $1100-$1600 here in the states... the best sports bargain in any mount, by a long shot. set it up for back-button af. the downside is that it's limited to 15fps with 3rd-party glass, like all sony bodies.

I currently shoot Sony. A9ii. Extraordinarily good camera, but in the day to day, if your set up isn’t earning you money, and you’re unable to claim a tax benefit, you are stuck in a system hat has really high quality glass, but it will require the sacrifice of your fist child to afford it. It’s not

Had Nikon D7000, 7100, 7200, D500, D750. Got Sony A9ii for sports when mirrorless was not a thing with Nikon. Had worn out a shutter on the D500 but still have that and some of the older ones. Came back to Nikon with the Z8, when Nikon figured out mirrorless autofocus and gave it to us at a price mu
