Why should I choose Nikon?

Nikon has been aggressive in giving photographers, and now videographers, the most bang for their buck in mirrorless. The Z-mount is semi-open, giving you the same budget options that Sony shooters get, and you can adapt E-mount lenses as well since there are more E-mount lenses floating around the

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

Considering switching Nikon to canon

If you want a big upgrade over Nikon in terms of AF and you like the idea of a 28-70 2.0 Then Sony is actually where I would suggest moving. I personally felt that Nikons AF on mirrorless was a hair better than Canon, but neither are as good as Sony. That said I am a sony shooter so that might be a

A cursory comparison review of the Nikon Z9 and Sony A7M5 for bird photography

I’ve shot the Sony A1 and the Z9, both with 600mm f/4 native glass side by side. Both can miss focus when shooting birds in flight. Buy either system and learn it well and you wont be disappointed. Ignore the static on YouTube and forums, it’s all agenda driven. You don’t see professionals complaini

Anyone who says Fuji can’t be used for sports is crazy

i think the whole thing about fuji autofocus being bad is a meme. i have no doubt you’re getting good hit rates with indoor basketball, just as i’m getting good hit rates with birds in flight. i have a sony a1 ii and the difference with my x-t5 isn’t that noticeable for real world stuff. but i’m not

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

soda changes streaming forever ($11k camera)

Sony cameras overheat doing 4k if they are not the high end ones. A7 is pretty mid spec so they can overheat if you run it max quality for a long time with no cooling. I run an a1 sometimes and it doesn't have issues, but I have a smaller 6700 which I and it can overheat if I do videos pretty easily

New Tamron 70-180mm lens distortion HELP

Others have explained why this happened. I just wanted to add: If you ever get to a point, where you need silent shooting / electronic shutter in sports photography, look for cameras with “stacked” sensors. Like the Sony A9, A9II, A9III and the A1 cameras. They have much faster readout, in the singl
