Photographers, what are some uncomfortable truths about photography in 2026 that we don't like to openly admit?
Agreed, but more like 15+ years. My Nikon D750 was just as good in low light as my Sony A7RV is now. The reason for the switch was because I bought an FX3 for video and it seemed stupid to use two lens systems, and my D750 was appalling with autofocus in bad light. AF capability between modern mirro

To anyone who has shot multiple systems: How do Lumix and Olympus lenses actually stack up against other brands?
This is the usual PoV of a FF user who hasn't used M43 and really has no idea what he's talking about. He is basically repeating internet rhetoric that he hasn't bothered to explore. Ask him which M43 cameras & lenses he's used? If you want an unbiased PoV then check out the numerous Wedding photogr

Sony Fanboy Looking at Fuji
I have Sony and Fuji cameras. I would not call an A7RV “unpleasant to shoot”. Maybe it’s not fun to shoot with, but if you find it unpleasant you need to sell it. The images I get from that camera are outstanding. I agree that Fuji is more enjoyable to use, they feel like they were designed by peopl

Most photographers don’t need better gear, they need better taste
I just upgraded from a Sony a7Riii to a7RV and what a difference! I know they aren't the go to for sports but I like motorsports and they do me well at the track while still working great for all the other stuff away from the track. The auto focus alone on the A7RV is worth the upgrade. It picks up

I have the money for a full frame camera for the first time since having kids. I start looking at the Z5ii and R10 and then the lenses and realize I don't want to spend almost $4,000 on a camera and lens. Does anyone also feel fine with M43 but get scared away with prices on FF?
Excellent summation. I also use both Sony (A7r5) and OM (OM1 & OM3) and 95% of the time I pick up the cameras in the order = OM3, OM1, A7r5, A6000 (IR). People need to consider what they use their photos for (social media, forums, family, small prints (under say 100cms x 80cms) etc. even entering co

Super…
Sigh. This example gets trotted out every time this discussion comes up. I have the OM-3 and used to have the A7cii, which I sold for an A7R5. So I have both systems and think I’m qualified to opine here. I don’t know what “false equivalency” this picture is meant to show. What I see is two cameras

Anyone using a a7V for a B camera?
If you mean for video, I'm using an A7RV (note "R", so not the A7V) for B-Cam because sometime in early summer last year DJs decided everything needs multicam. I bought the A7RV as my main photo camera to replace my Nikon D750 - after buying an FX3 for video it seemed daft to run two lens systems, a

Bird photography while hiking
Sony a6700 and the a7R5 have the best autofocus on the market. Sony has put that autofocus capability in other cameras but they get very expensive. A zoom lens with ~600mm of zoom will not be light. The Sony 200-600 is excellent and Sony also makes a 2x teleconverter to extend the 600mm to 1200mm. S

Musical theater photography exposure/lighting question?
My first theater shoot was Legally Blonde. I had similar struggles with the harsh stage lighting but eventually mastered it. As others say, prioritize exposing for the highlights as shadows are easy to raise in post. I use multi-metering with priority on faces (an option on my Sony gear, but not on

out of curiosity what gear do you’ll use?
Sony a7rv and vi for my digitals but i shoot a lot of film so i've got a canon 1v, eos 3, contax g2 & g1, mamiya 7 and rz67proii. mostly on prime lenses, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm but i do own a 24-70mm for backup. I really enjoy the extra resolutions of the r series for cropping and dynamic range p
