- Creative Looks: which one do you actually leave on?
ST most of the time. For indoor football I have ST with contrast -1 because the floodlights already give enough contrast. Tried FL for a month and found skin a bit cold for my taste. I don't send…
Post #2, in Sony - 400 f/4.5 GM or one of the 100-400s for football from the touchline?
Rented the new 100-400 for Saturday. Will see how my arms feel by the final whistle.
Post #7, in Lenses - 400 f/4.5 GM or one of the 100-400s for football from the touchline?
This is my worry too. I rented a 400 prime years ago on a different system and missed nearly everything inside 20 metres. Monopod is a fair point. I own one, I just never take it. @tomthurlow the…
Post #5, in Lenses - A7C II or A7 V for travel, is the size difference actually noticeable in a bag?
I have the A7 V, and had a friend's A7C II for a weekend. In the bag the difference is less than you expect, the V is taller because of the viewfinder hump and the grip is deeper, that is most of…
Post #3, in Sony - A7 IV under floodlights, focus is fine but files look mushy?
Watercolour look is in-camera noise reduction on the JPEGs, not the sensor. Shoot RAW and run AI denoise in Lightroom, at 12800 the difference is big. Also for training 1/500 is enough for most of…
Post #2, in Sony - Best action camera for motorcycle riding in 2026? My canyon footage was unusable
At 2-3 hours, honestly not much. It's the long touring days where you start to notice your neck. For your rides I wouldn't choose on weight.
Post #9, in Video - Best action camera for motorcycle riding in 2026? My canyon footage was unusable
Bike footage usually fails for four reasons: vibration, wind, mounting and light. You have the light and the wind ones. For most riders at your budget I would get the Insta360 Ace Pro 2. Prices are…
Post #4, in Video - Lightroom 'Prompt to Edit', has anyone actually got it yet?
If it is sliders, it is a macro with voice. Useful for beginners who don't know what "dehaze" does. I already know which slider I want, so for me it would be slower, I can move three sliders before…
Post #5, in Editing & Software - Sony FE 400 f/4.5 GM and 600 f/6.3 GM announced, both under 1kg
This is what I heard also from bird photographers I know. For sport it is the opposite, players come close to you.
Post #6, in Lenses - A7S IV rumours again: what do you actually want in it?
For video yes. I would want the A7 V readout and more than 12MP. 24MP with a fast readout would cover stills and video both for event people.
