None of the schools around here have beach volleyball so I've been drooling over photos from it.

One university I shoot for was making excellent A4 prints of my photos for the programs they give out before basketball games from our four megapixel 1D images. We did have to shoot them in ...

I've never found the joystick to be easy to use. I rarely used the one on my 1D Mark IV because half the time moving it in any direction would cause a center press. Canon apparently figured that ...

I only took around 6,000 photos with my 5D Mark IV before the joystick broke. Obviously the failure of the joystick is unrelated to the number of photos taken. And yes, I expect the controls of a ...

Which replaced the D2H. Oh wait, it didn't. Nikon continued to sell the D2H and later the D2HS as its flagship sports camera. I saw sports photographers using the D2X in its crop mode (the only ...

Or the motor locks into some other mechanism in front of the lens that isn't here. And it looks like the motor is powered by a mini-phono jack on the side. :-|

Well, my 1DX Mark III just reached 400,000 clicks which is over twice the estimated life of a 5D Mark III shutter.

I think the beginning of DSLR dominance for Canon was when Nikon released the D2H and then six months later Canon released the 1D Mark II. Nikon continued to sell the D2H and the D2HS for three ...

One day I pulled out my 5D Mark IV and noticed that the joystick didn't work. I felt the controller moving freely under the rubber. This was weird because I rarely use my 5D Mark IV for anything. ...

The private schools here are the wealthy ones. One private school here spent over a million dollars improving the lights in their arena. A public school spent around that much building a brand new ...

What do the officials and the coaches of the opposing teams tell you? They sound like cheap skates. All schools here have improved their lighting because LED lights are cheaper to operate and many ...

In my experience every year fewer venues allow any kind of flash for indoor sports and that's down to zero in my area. 15-20 years ago I could put Alien Bees in the rafters and they assumed you ...

This was covered somewhat in this thread: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4680088 For fun I took my Sony RX10 MarkIV  to the floor of a basketball game where I'd normally shoot with ...

That's not my experience. My coworkers with Canon cameras have been bringing in new lenses to work every couple of years. One guy rushed out to buy a new 70-200mm f4 for his 80D before they ran ...

There are thirty five years of Canon cameras out there that will work with a new EF lens. It seems like the RF camera market will need some years before it's a larger market for lenses than the EF ...

Are there now more RF cameras than EF cameras in use now?

What do you think I'm doing with the cameras after I take the batteries out? :-)

When I get home or to the hotel room, I always take the batteries out and put them in the charger. I don't like surprises the next day.

What's the R1?

OK. The mirror is a limiting factor. But you are wearing out the mirror box. Canon usually replaces it and shutter when one wears out, or at least they did the two times I had it done.
