a9 II

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.

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've used both and I think the a9ii has amazing AF if that's your main concern. I like some other things better like menus and ergonomics and actually using buttons and moving focus points with the r6ii, but I think the Sony just has fantastic af. This is coming from someone who has used canon more

Sony a9ii .. cos it gives you a wider lens choice from third party like Sigma and Tamron on a limited budget. a9ii is still a very capable camera for what you intend to do.

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

Sony Alpha 7R V. But I already have it. So, the FX3A or some other camera for filming. Or maybe the Sony Alpha 9 II, which should also be good for filming (4k120p) and would also be interesting for me for some wildlife photography.

I've shot off and on for 20 years, back at it for about 3. it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize how the light meter in my viewfinder worked. Make sure you're using it to check that you're in the ballpark where you need to be. Metering modes can be helpful to. A highlight metering mode w

The original SL’s autofocus is not that good, I’d only get it for adapting m glass. Personally I wouldnt use the dlux for paid gigs as well, it’s a good camera for edc but I personally went with a GR. Also consider a Leica q/q2. Go with an older dlux if you want that form factor for daily use. Keep
