In your experience, what are the most reliable mirrorless cameras your photographers have used on set?
I've had the Sony A1 since 2021 and the A1 II since launch and zero issues so far shooting in basically every scenario. Pretty easy to work with after getting it all dialed in.

2.5% Waxing Crescent
Well, a lot of patience. The sliver didn't appear till well after sunset. I was about to give up. Used a skyview app to see where it should be. Kept panning. Found it. Variety of exposures. Mostly clear skies. The timing of location in the sky and sunset colors and moon phase lined up. Oh yeah, a so

If you could have only two cameras, two lenses for the rest of your life what would you choose and why?
Sony a1 ii w/ 70-200 f2.8 and a Fuji xt series w/ 16 f1.4 or maybe 35 f1.4

Best set up for an amateur bird photographer that won't completely break the bank?
I had the Sony a6700 and 200-600 before getting my A1ii. It’s an amazing setup for bird photography. Super fast autofocus, great reach and image quality with the 200-600. Only downside is no pre-capture. You won’t notice any difference between APSC and full frame as an amateur. I’ve even shot the a6

Is Nikon Z the best camera series or am I missing something?
Nikon has being trying to regain market share by selling their bodies cheaper than equivalent Sony and Canon bodies. They also sit between the two in terms of 3rd party lens support. For my money, the Z8 is still the best value to performance sports and wildlife camera on the market - it's like half

Is Nikon Z the best camera series or am I missing something?
*The RF mount is crazy limited, * There's multiple other areas canon is also "ahead" and others they are behind. Just like every other company. Canon arguably has the best first party "amateur to enthiusts" level of camera bodies and lenses. They really fleshes out both the entry level bodies to many

Bird photography while hiking
If you have unlimited budget I would consider OM1mk2 with the 50-200 f/2.8 and a 2x teleconverter instead of the 100-400. The TC makes it a 100-400 f/5.6, which is a 200-800mm full frame field of view. This lens is very sharp for pixel peeping. I have full frame Sony setup (A1ii, A9iii, A7RV, A7cii)

Worth Switching from Sony to Nikon Z for Wildlife? (Z8 + Adapted Older Primes vs PF Lenses?)
I shoot primarily birds/wildlife and I have used all of Sony's modern bodies a lot in the field. I do some instruction and I have a good relationship with my LCS so I end up spending a lot of time behind a wide variety of gear in real world scenarios. If you can afford the switch to Nikon, it is a n
