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’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

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

I shot Nikon DSLRs before going mirrorless. The Canon R series has excellent AF with the bodies you are considering and the sensor read speed if fast enough to use the e-shutter for kids sports. You'll need to spend a little time setting it up properly in order to keep focus from jumping from your k

I needed a new body and wasn't very heavily invested in the Canon ecosystem anyway (only owned two lenses). At that time, I'd already been using a Sony RX100 point & shoot, and they had just released the second gen of their very well reviewed A7R. At that time, I wanted megapixels and full frame mir

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

I think this applies more to the videographer / prosumer market. (I work for a large camera retail chain in EU) For single video shooters, yes Sony is super popular for good reasons (autofocus, low light, S-Log3 10-bit and good 4K slomo) In the film and commercial world and rentals it’s Arri, Red an
