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

After falling for full frame propaganda... I'm amazed by M43
You have to be blind to not see the Sony/FF propaganda online, if you on YouTube 95% of photography content revolves around Sony/Canon/FF and newbies to be hobby basically think mirrorless camera = Sony because they get brainwashed so much when in reality Olympus and Panasonic mop the floor with Son

How is the autofocus on the Z6iii and Z5ii?
Short answer: generally, yes, Nikon's latest generation of cameras is going to be better than any Sony APS-C body at AF. Long answer: about 5 years ago AF in mirrorless made a generational leap in performance, the first since we got PDAF on-sensor with the Nikon V1/J1, and saw significant improvemen

Screw new gear, why aren’t we all just buying our dream cameras from 7 / 8 years ago? They’re cheap.
I bought a used Sony A1 for $3000. Not exactly "cheap" but I saved $3000

I forgot my 35mm f/1.4 S at a night event and had to rely on the 24-120mm f/4 instead — and honestly, I couldn't be happier with how it performed. Shot this at ISO 20,000 on z8. What do you all think?
I started with Nikon d5100 back in 2015. Later, I moved to the mirrorless due to the size and third party lense availability of Sony. However, Sony doesn’t offer everything in one body, except for the A1. But for the kind of work I do, it felt like an expensive setup to hold on to. I got a great dea

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

Switch to Canon mirrorless from Nikon DSLR for sports?
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
