One of my brothers recent shots, I thought it was worth sharing here...

Anyway - here is something from a Canon 7D in the hands of a far more capable photographer than me. Those DSLR's are not all done yet...

Best viewed on a 5K display a9 might be fast but a7riii resolution is hard to beat!

A9 and D500 BIF tracking/performance are not similar - not by a country mile.  D850 and D500 are similar.  I have the a9 and the a7riii (both second hand), couldn't do without the high resolution ...

I think what is happening is that some software uses the cameras profile to render the image while other software uses it's own or no profile. I got fed up with all these RAW editors all rendering ...

What HDMI adapter are you using?

If you take pictures in RAW format you should be able to recover quite a bit of detail from the shadows. Depending on the edit you should have adjustments available to recover some of the detail. ...

I picked up a second hand a9 for USD2,600 (AUD3,600) and a new 200-600 for USD1,600.  So that's USD4,200 - sell a few body parts for the remaining $200... Subsequently I picked up a TC1.4 and a ...

How does that work with FaceTime, Skype or MS Teams ?

I have been unable to get the Image Edge WebCam for Mac to work on any of the 3 laptops.  FaceTime, Skype, MS Teams, OBS - nothing... One laptop worked with Skype briefly and then stopped and ...

I found the pictures to be very average.  Lots of noise, lacking fine detail and micro-contrast, struggled in low light conditions which are often best time for wildlife.  Compared to other ...

Underwhelmed - you should be able to better these below - which imo are not even really sharp - but that's the 200-500 lens.  If you want fine feather detail you will have to up the shutter speed ...

No true - mine works on one laptop with teams but does not work on any other laptop or with any other software. Absolute junk.

Tamron lenses good value and pretty bright and light

If you already have Sony why not get a secondhand a7x and a Tamron 17-28 or 28-70 ? I found aps-c to be a waste of time - made me loose interest. I finally took the plunge and got a secondhand D850 ...

Don't know I wasn't using the D500.  Technically the mirrorless af systems have a big advantage because they are not using a mirror - the light coming in the lens goes straight to the sensor.  In ...

Very impressed with the Sony gear so far, love the way it seems to nail the eyes all the time and af at 840mm f/9 is surprisingly usable!  Handheld in low light at 840mm is also no problem. Birds ...

What D500 faster than a9 or R5 ? I was out yesterday morning with a friend who was showing me a new location. He has a D500/500PF and stopped shooting because he was struggling to acquire focus on ...

I didn't make Sony gear so have no reason to boast. I own both Nikon and Sony gear and simply use whatever works best for me. Also I am not suggesting the every mirrorless af system will outperform ...
