Concur.  I've shot the D2x and D3s back to back and it's not even close.  I still own both cameras and on rare occasions use them together.

Fair enough.  I don't motor drive very often.

I have owned, and currently own a multitude of Nikon bodies including the D3s.  I do well over 30k images through it a year.  I am familiar with it's capabilities.  I also shoot it in concert with ...

I don't consider that "better".  Even as a sports pro, I'd MUCH rather have the far better resolution, dynamic range, and noise handling of the D750.

D750. Period.  I can hardly think of a scenario where the D3s would be better (and I own one and formerly owned a pair).

I can say with certainty that this is not true.  After reading this statement last night, I decided to restore one of my RAWs from last week to my office computer.  All my EXIF data is perfectly ...

OMG!  How old is this info?  Geez. NEVER, and I mean NEVER use flash at a soccer game if you are at field level and the game is being played..  You want to get tossed out?  This will do it. Under ...

good thing I don't shoot my movies with Canon...

Yes,

Let's test Sony's E-mount 300/2.8 an 400/2.8 on the Canon and see how they work...

I've spoken at length about them in the past and don't wan to rehash that here. We can discuss privately if you are really interested.

I wasn't referring to just stllls cameras. My experience goes back decades with pro audio gear, pro video gear, consumer video gear, etc. Sony stuff often cost more. Occasionally worth it, but...

I think most of us are aware mirrorless is the future. I think the a9 has drawn the line between those who think mirrorless is ready now and those who don't.

I remain skeptical because my...

No, we are not brand loyal, as I have numerous brands of gear. BUT there really has to be a compelling reason for it.

While I will give Sony a lot of credit for many things, I don't think I...

@rubberdials Perhaps you are right. Though I do have to say, pro sports shooters using A-mount cameras and glass seem to be as rare as unicorns. So perhaps this video was fair from the...

But the review didn't claim to be judging body performance. The review simply asks the question, "Can a pro sports shooter do their job with the a9 if they need long glass?" Right now, that...

You are generally going to have 1 of 2 scenarios here.

1. A person in the Sony system who is eyeing an a9 but needs glass.
2. A person outside the Sony system who is eyeing the a9 and likely has...

I'm only questioning a choice about something they ACTUALLY did. Not some pie in the sky. Sony DID bring out the camera and a lens together. The a9 and the 100-400. The question is, if they...

Sure, you could shoot any sport with 5fps. I've shot dozens of things with lower fps than this. BUT, the question is, why buy into this system or adapt over this system, when other competing...

I think this is somewhat unfair. At least from the perspective of a sports shooter. While the a9 likely won't work for me, it's unfair to assess its performance using adapters and third party...

But why?
