Why should I choose Nikon?
Nikon has been aggressive in giving photographers, and now videographers, the most bang for their buck in mirrorless. The Z-mount is semi-open, giving you the same budget options that Sony shooters get, and you can adapt E-mount lenses as well since there are more E-mount lenses floating around the

Do I need all of this for a studio clothing shoot?
I work in film and use this type of gear pretty often. Seems like this dude wants you to rent this stuff so he can take pictures of the gear lol completely unnecessary especially if this is a photo first gig. If I was hired for this type of gig and I only had an A1 I would ask for maybe a rental for

Considering switching Nikon to canon
If you want a big upgrade over Nikon in terms of AF and you like the idea of a 28-70 2.0 Then Sony is actually where I would suggest moving. I personally felt that Nikons AF on mirrorless was a hair better than Canon, but neither are as good as Sony. That said I am a sony shooter so that might be a

A cursory comparison review of the Nikon Z9 and Sony A7M5 for bird photography
I’ve shot the Sony A1 and the Z9, both with 600mm f/4 native glass side by side. Both can miss focus when shooting birds in flight. Buy either system and learn it well and you wont be disappointed. Ignore the static on YouTube and forums, it’s all agenda driven. You don’t see professionals complaini

After falling for full frame propaganda... I'm amazed by M43
You have to be blind to not see the Sony/FF propaganda online, if you on YouTube 95% of photography content revolves around Sony/Canon/FF and newbies to be hobby basically think mirrorless camera = Sony because they get brainwashed so much when in reality Olympus and Panasonic mop the floor with Son

Anyone who says Fuji can’t be used for sports is crazy
i think the whole thing about fuji autofocus being bad is a meme. i have no doubt you’re getting good hit rates with indoor basketball, just as i’m getting good hit rates with birds in flight. i have a sony a1 ii and the difference with my x-t5 isn’t that noticeable for real world stuff. but i’m not

If you know, you know
A 6X6 medium format negative has an equivalent digital resolution of ~120 megapixels. A Sony A1 has a resolution of 50.1 megapixels. An 8X10 large format negative has approximately 600 megapixels equivalent resolution. I'm no pixel peeper, but it's just obviously not the case that a professional pho

Leica M11/M11-P as a Dad-Cam/Family Cam?
agree, i can get same amount of good images for kids from m10 compared to sony a1. mf with range finder is not bad and the whole process is much more joyful. also for sony you likely will take thousands of images for a two hours event, nightmare for post processing.

DSLR or Mirrorless? What Camera Are You Using and Why?
I started shooting back in 1999, long before mirrorless was a thing. My roots were in Canon SLRs and later high-end DSLRs, and I shot pretty much everything over the years. Sports, landscapes, portraits, studio work. I was using serious bodies at the time like the Canon EOS 3 and later EOS-1D, 5D se
