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

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

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

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

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
