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

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

Which one to keep?
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

How can I take sharper photos?
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

Sony advantages over Canon?
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

If you had to rebuy into an ecosystem in this year what would you choose?
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

Camera recommendations for someone getting back into photography?
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

15U Vs Full frame Thoughts
I am a Xiaomi 15U user. I absolutely love the camera module, the photographic capability is several notches better than my old Pixel 7 Pro, cannot wait to see what Xiaomi / Vivo comes up with in future. But it is not about to replace my Sony A1/A9 during photographic trips. If you are referring to t

📸 Mobile Photography 2026: Why the Public is Choosing the Wrong Champion
u do realize leica cameras are kinda shit nowadays, right? u're just paying for the name, not the performance. U don't have the sharpness of a sony, or the color accuracy of a nikon, or the autofocus of a sony, or the detail of a hasselblad, leica is no longer a leader in literally anything, it's ju
