In your experience, what are the most reliable mirrorless cameras your photographers have used on set?

Generally speaking, R5 Mark II. There are quirks I don’t like about the canon ecosystem, but they have the best tethering experience, 3rd party support (outside of lenses), and market penetration in the commercial world. Apparently the C1 beta wireless tethering support is working too. What are your

what's the best camera for sports photography that works best for indoor basketball and low light gym settings

If you really want the best, look at the Canon R5 II, Sony A1, or Nikon Z8. But even the best bodies won't get you good results without wide aperture lenses. Before you buy a new body, try shooting with an f2.8 zoom or an f1.8 prime lens. Personally, I usually shoot indoor basketball with prime lens

Got the X2D II & 20-35E! Need Suggestions!!!

Fwiw the X2D is kind of a specialised tool, I think the fact that you’re forced to use the ginormous and expensive 35-100 just for AF-C is a symptom of that. Don’t get me wrong I also use a camera that’s far too big (GFX 100 with a 45-100), but over the years I’ve come to think that while the 100mp

Had an incredible encounter with a Great-horned Owl

Thank you! The body is a Canon R5m2 and lens is RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 (you can see image settings in the screenshot in my other comment). I shot on a Canon 80D + Sigma 150-600mm lens for a long time until I was able to afford the upgrade and I can definitely see & feel the difference!

Lens Profile Bug

It does that for me as well. But for some lenses it decides not to do light fall-off or distortion correction at all (leaves sliders at 0). When I then increase them 100 what I would expect is: when I copy my settings from one image to another it should only copy the slider values but not the lens p

My photo of the Jerami Grant dunk!

I think the R3, at the time, was overpriced - now, it's "okay". My main body is actually the R5mk2! Which I think the R5 series is the best bang for buck, it's fast enough, it has a higher MP, and all needs like Pre-Capture. The lens is what Canon has over Sony, but honestly if I were to start from

Is Nikon Z the best camera series or am I missing something?

I don't see how Canon is better on absolutely any front For me: Ergonomics (this is huge—Nikon is pretty good here, but as much as I love Sony, their ergonomics don't work for me) Color science AF (R5II and others) Best support for my vast collection of amazing and unique EF glass, especially my EF

Why *can't* the BMPCC4k be used for photography?

It can certainly be used for CERTAIN TYPES of photography but it certainly won’t be as well rounded of a “photo” tool as a Canon R5 mark ii. I mean you could certainly do staged photos and certain product photos but it would be awful to use for street photography because it doesn’t shoot fast enough

what's the best camera for sports photography that works best for indoor basketball and low light gym settings

Any full frame camera from Canon, Nikon or Sony will work. If the light is really awful, use a 50 or 85mm prime at f/2.0 or faster, but an f/2.8 zoom should work fine, especially with modern denoise. I've shot volleyball and basketball with a (Canon) R6, R5 and now R5ii. With the RF 135mm f/1.8, RF
