Alpha 1

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

I have recently shot with top level Nikon (Z9, Z8, Z6III) and Sony (A1, A9II, A7SIII). I was a professional motorsports photographer and my primary weekend kit was 2 Z9's and 2 Z6III's (depending on how much video the client wanted vs photos, more video was Z6III's, more photos or bad weather, Z9's)

Eh, the physical brass dials are a huge part of the Zf’s allure/experience. Main thing that makes the poor ergonomics worth it really. The Sony A1 does a pretty good job of laying out a “professional” camera with primarily hardware controls in a more classic form factor. Could see something like tha

The D5 has a unique sensor that hasn't come over to any mirrorless, or anything besides the last 1D and D6 - designed for maximum low light performance. The D4 isn't far behind, with a sensor that holds highlights like none other (which might be of interest to you). The big advances in the last 10 o

Not sure why so many folks defer to mirrorless or DSLR for this application. I’ve created 100s of lacrosse recruiting videos over the last 10 years and I always shoot with a video cam … and I have a Sony A1 ii. My game camera is a Sony PXW Z200. You need remote zoom and at least 18X optical zoom. Yo

First check out Justin Mott on YouTube he is a pro with extensive time with Leicas but always uses Sony for client paid work. https://www.youtube.com/@AskMOTT/videos I’d recommend renting a Sony A1 with a 16-35mm GM and then maybe a 85mm for portraits. As a super light backup camera the Olympus OM5

My Sony A1 is not only doing this, the rear LCD is failing around the spot where I press my nose

It’s a complex answer. I’m have a Sony A1 and it takes 8sec to run AI Denoise on my 3090 Nvidia GPU on a chunky desktop PC. It runs SUPER HOT (but never throttles) when it’s chugging the 50MP compressed files. AI Denoise leans towards cuda cores so a 5080 desktop will be pretty close. The laptop 508

DSLRs (350D, 20D, 5D, 5D MKII, 5D MK III): Their AF with eg. 50 1.2L and other 50mm lenses was wide open terrible. Focus Shift and not reliable. Then 2010 i bought the Zeiss 50mm f2 Makro Planar, set an EG-S Screen in my 5D MK II and startet so hit Focus - every time. This was the first and only Len

Price wise the Sony 135GM is more than the Sigma 135 Art, but not by as much as usual and used prices for the 135GM can be pretty great. Even new the 135GM is by far the cheapest mirrorless 1st party option (compared to Canon & Nikon), which is shocking given how good it is. The Samyang does feel le
