What is the best wedding camera in 2026 if price doesn’t matter?
Not including a Sony option in this is ridiculous. An A7V, A1II, or A9III all could be argued are top of the list. I would argue that the A9III honestly is capable of things for weddings that no other body even is. With a true global shutter and crazy sync speeds it can do things you simply can't ac

Is rolling shutter really a big deal?
I have the Sony a7iv. I didn't even know " how terrible" of a sensor it has until I was watching a7v reviews. I went back and looked at some real world footage with whip pans. It was barely there and only if you knew what to look for. I laughed.

Are partially stacked sensors useless for photographing moving subjects?
No. You’re drawing completely incorrect conclusions. The Sony a7V has excellent sensor readout speed. Rolling shutter is very difficult to get in electronic shutter mode, especially compared to the previous a7IV. With the a7IV, I always had to switch to the mechanical shutter even when a person was

Looking left to Full frame & Looking right to M43 for wildlife
I would go with a stacked sensor for wildlife. Blackout free shooting is a game changer. I purchased the OM-1ii on the a7v release date as a Sony shooter for wildlife and have no regrets. For Nikon you either get the Z8, or nothing.

Unspoken benefit of the M43 sensor (Olympus)
I think it's true that when you look at the charts on https://www.photonstophotos.net/ the gap is less than the theoretical 2 stops for DR. ... Though it is more than 1 stop ... I'm sure there are various reasons for this difference in practice and I'm not sure exactly which camera models exhibit th

Anyone using a a7V for a B camera?
No, but I'm using it as an A camera and FX3 as a B camera now. A7v is better in nearly every way except the fan but I've shot hours long interviews and live shows with the a7v and never had any heat warning. The only other thing is the fx3 has cineEI and shutter angle. CineEI is easily replicated wi

current rx100 is being discounted by $200, could this mean the V8 is on the way?
RX100m3 was my Sony gateway camera and it has been a lovely journey. That thing still rocks (though I got a free upgrade to an m4 when the m3 lens got sand in it and I used the Best Buy warranty I bought). I dream about a modern version of it. Modern AF and color science. 10-bit video and whatever b

Electronic vs mechanical shutter?
If you expect fast movement like a propeller spinning or a flying tennis ball choose mechanical. Otherwise you can choose electronic. For wildlife the faster burst rate is helpful with electronic shutter. The Sony A7V has partially stacked sensor which provides you really fast readout speed, almost

FX30 or FX3 or something else?
A7V seems like the way to go to me. I have an FX3, A7V, C70 S1ii, and S5ii and used to have a zv-e1 as well along with a red etc. I do a lot of doc and corporate but also commercial and narrative. C70 has been my A-cam forever because I love the sensor and FX3 the camera I have because producers kno

Got the X2D II & 20-35E! Need Suggestions!!!
sony has the fastest autofocus on the planet and has backlit sensors to help with light - a7r v or a7 v would be good for you....I'd trade up to be honest (I just moved from sony to X2D v1 - though I do mostly landscapes and macro for a hash company so my needs are vastly different)
