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 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

obviously you need the best camera like sony A1 or hasselblad x2d

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 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 sony a9 iii is an incredible camera for sure, I think the very best camera you can have for it would be the sony a1 ii its about double the resolution which helps for birds in flight being able to crop in a bit more and still have a really good image when done. Another very good camera is the so

For something with an OVF, it doesn't get better than a Nikon D850, but if you want a Canon, the 5D Mark IV is also good. The D780 is another good choice for a lower resolution. For mirrorless, I love my Nikon Z8, but the Canon R5II and Sony A1 Mark II have both exceeded it in some way, but for a hi

You have the roles reversed. Remember that it's Canon trying to compete with the existing Sony lineup. The A1 was out in 2021 - a year before the R5 and a solid two+ years before the R5ii or R1. Basically, Sony could price their flagship mirrorless, which is what the A1 was, at any price point they

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

Sounds like you are filming for highlights. If so, your phone will work just fine. I suggest you get a tripod for mounting and be prepared to go back and forth between restraining lines. If you want the best setup, you'll need a mirrorless camera on a tripod with a good lens. Also, you'll need a cam
