Alpha 1

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

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 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

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

In the context of “zone focusing is faster than auto focus” is what I was referring to. I love my Leicas, by a Sony GM prime wide open on my A1 will always be faster than me on Leica. Zone focusing is a technique with narrow applicability.

My first mirrorless camera was a Sony A7III. Purchasing it was a big deal since I had been a Canon shooter since I was in the 7th grade. There is no doubt the A7III is objectively the better piece of equipment for 90% of shooting situations. After about a year with the A7III I bought the EOS R to gi

Though I'm not an expert so I'm only going to give general information, I do believe you're correct on needing good autofocus that can identify the subject for him, and as many shooting aids as possible. The latest generation of mirrorless cameras has made a large leap in this capability, so that's

Mirrorless isn't a trend. It's the current standard. It's not going to go away unless a better form factor comes along. The DSLR is dead. Nobody's developing the platform anymore, and I'm fairly sure the very last brand new DSLR to hit the market was something like 5 years ago (by which time most of

I am a sony a7iii user and let me break down brands and sony models. Each brand has its signature area. Sony is famous for fast autofocus and great ergonomics. Fujifilm for stylized colour science. Nikon for natural color science, canon for great skin color, lumix for video. Now coming to sony, sinc

Sony shooter here. I am going to go out of the box with this suggestion as I took this road back in 2018 when I transitioned from a Canon 7Dmk2 to the Sony a7III for the mirrorless AF benefits. I was just getting started shooting professionally and couldn't afford GM glass but knew I mirrorless was
