I'm a bit perturbed that you are considering taking on paid wedding work with just one camera and seem to be ignoring suggestions for backup gear. Given the high stakes and the vast number of ...

What are you going to be doing with two cameras? For hiking & climbing, I definitely wouldn't want cameras on my hips, as they'd snag branches and be likely to get crushed in a fall. In those ...

@DJohnny
I love being able to set a whole host of parameters simply by touching the relevant one on the info display on the rear screen. Saves a lot of menu-diving and button-pushing.

I don't like carry products that occupy the tripod mount, first because then it's hard to use a tripod, and second because I'm not convinced tripod mounts are designed and built to take the stress ...

At least three: one for each camera and one backup Still need a backup. If the 24-70 fails, you can't shoot an entire wedding with a 70-200. Even a modest 24-105 or 24-120 could serve, but I'd go ...

I shoot events with three cameras, two on an OpTechUSA Double Sling and one on a neck strap. The Double Sling spreads the weight across my upper back and relieves me of having to shrug to keep ...

Don't forget to budget for a second body and multiple flashes. Shooting a wedding with only one body is simply malpractice.

There is no "wedding photography" forum, although I have been petitioning DPR to create an "event photography" forum. The closest thing here is the "Portrait and People" forum, which is absurdly ...

They make a superb 35/1.4 for 35mm-format E-mount and sell it for $500.

Yeah, well, most event work isn't like that. My biggest water hazard is from the leaky roof in the Javits Center in NYC.

"the a7 III's touchscreen is put to good use for AF point control"
Other reviewers have reported Sony's Touchpad AF is sluggish, and I found when I tried an a7III in-store that it also failed to...

The FZ1000 is a good all-rounder, but it's not a small camera, so you'll probably want to keep your GM5 for casual carry.

You can pick up a brand-new FZ1000 for $500. The lens covers 25-400mm EFL with f2.8-f4 aperture. Alternatively, if you're not going to print larger than 12"x18" (A3), an FZ300 for $400 gets you ...

My hiking kit is a Panasonic GX85 with 14-140 zoom. Not having to swap lenses is a huge benefit of the 10x zoom, and this one is amazingly sharp and consistent across the frame and across the ...

Panasonic killed GX8 sales by releasing the GX85 with a host of fundamental improvements just 9 months after its debut. Had Panasonic migrated those improvements (Dual IS 2, new shutter, improved ...

When hiking, I carry my GX85 with 14-140 in a topload zoom pouch that rides on my chest, suspended from a neck strap or D-rings on knapsack shoulder straps and held snug to my chest with a bungie ...

Early this year I bought a couple of used GX8s in excellent condition for about $600 each. Sure wish Panasonic would update the GX8 with new shutter, no AA filter, and Dual IS 2, and make IBIS ...

Yup, great little flash at any price, but this one's dirt-cheap. I use mine on-camera for fill in conjunction with larger Godox V850 or V860II speedlights off-camera as key lights. I have found, ...

Only by 1/2 stop. I'm not after shallow DoF. I'm after usable shutter speeds with moving subjects in very low light. The 35mm-format kit you reference here gathers 1/2 stop less light than the MFT ...

Yeah, that doesn't work for me. If I have to shoot it at f2.8, I can get similar results from a Panasonic 12/1.4 on MFT. Why bother? Or, I could spend a few hundred more for a Sigma Art f1.4 and ...
