I disagree with having the backgrounds blurred out. It’s more beautiful when everything is visible

@gerardobello1747 4 дня назад

Does any of this high speed cameras has a feature that tells you the sharpes photo in a burst of 120 shots? It would be nice and time saver when you need to deliver from the field.

good review!

@MikeAllen-vh7cl 19 дней назад

Thanks for sharing your insight and experience Jean. There were a bunch of great nuggets in here that I took away. I also wanted to share that your video from last week when you reviewed the lenses you use and what you use them for was so helpful. My son graduated from college over the weekend and as I was planning what to take I was on the fence bringing the 70-200 2.8 lens. I knew we would be inside so I was concerned about low light. I decided to bring it because in the video you talked about how great it was for portraits. I was expecting to use the 24-70 2.8 but when I did test shots the 70-200 was definitely the better choice. As a result I shot everything inside with the 70-200. THANK YOU! That one comment made the difference for me. Also, it would be great if B&H had a Jean Fruth page on their website that lists all of the gear and accessories you use.

Jean, you rocked it again. Love keeping that "peak action" in mind. Your shots at the plate and the two players closing in on the popup are fantastic!

I wish the Nikon Z system had a 300mm. I am considering the 400mm f/4.5. The f/2.8 is just too expensive and too heavy for traveling. That 2.8 aperture does make a big difference shooting night games, but I just can’t justify the cost, which in my case would include a divorce lawyer when my wife found out the price. 😂 Looking forward to seeing Jean again at the Summit Workshops Denver Sports workshop.

@AirForceMike1981 12 дней назад

yeah, f/4 or 4.5 is a serious handicap.

@riotrob 18 дней назад

no “sports” camera runs out of buffer memory like the a1 does. Ill bet thats the camera she was referring to, but had to backtrack due to being a paid somy photographer. In any case, i like her work, but kinda disappointed to hear her praising the equipment so much when i know she can get the shot with any system . I guess you have to push the camera sales.

@okeefest 18 дней назад

When it comes to peak action, no one, not even Jean, can guarantee getting the best shot without using a high frame rate. The higher frame rate can be the difference between seeing the ball going into the glove on a diving catch and getting the closed glove, or getting the ball on the bat or two feet off the bat. I know because even at 20 frames/sec with the Z9, I may get the bat on the ball 1/10 times if even that. Pre-capture is another great feature because you don’t waste frames that need to be culled later costing you time. I wish the Z9/8 could do raw pre-capture rather than just jpeg. Instead I have literally hundreds of frames that I have to get through when editing. These features may not be needed by everyone, but not everyone needs an A1 or A9III. It’s great to know your options.

If only i could get that close in motorsports 🤣

@BandH 19 дней назад

Yikes, good luck with that. That is why telephoto lenses exist.

@mynameisnotcory 19 дней назад

@@BandH much safer with a tele too 😆

@AirForceMike1981 12 дней назад

I agree with most she is saying. BUT.. 30 fps? 40 fps? How about doing it single shot--THEN you understand the sport like baseball. A batter? ONE shot, as the ball meets the bat, let's see how good you are. Even with 5 fps, you are typically going to miss the ball meeting the bat. Freezing the ball? You're not shooting an ad for the ball maker--show some ball movement with the batter, that's ok and good. "frames per second" is good for, oh, horse racing... you've got four legs moving, head bobbing, jockey & whip. Super high frames per second is great for you shooters looking for the money shot, the one that feeds you, but it's not necessarily a skill anymore. And as she said, "blowing out the background" is typically Rule #1 in sports, and you can tell the difference between a pro and amateur shooter by Rule #1. F/2.8 !!! Nice job Jean.

@gerardobello1747 4 дня назад

I’ve been thinking about the same. I don’t believe any new photographer can shoot a baseball game or any game with a single shot and get all the shots they need. 😂 I don’t understand why camera companies are focusing so much on speed people don’t really need. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@TheNovopen 13 дней назад

Great info but not realistic for average photographer. The cost of equipment you use is rediculous for most of us. Its ok if your making money as pro. Id like you to do videos using everyday cameras.

@AirForceMike1981 12 дней назад

you dont need those stupid 40 frames per second cameras. But you need to invest in glass, those 2.8 lenses--they're the ones that'll make you someone! Get an older camera at least 10megapixel. At my job, cost was a HUGE factor--if I wanted the 300mm f/2.8 lenses, I had to reflect a cost savings in the camera. Example--the Nikon D610 CAN GET YOU the night shots you need, as long as you have a 2.8 lens with a focal length that puts the action FILLING the frame. Not much room for cropping. That being said, my personal camera is a Nikon DF, using a Nikon D4 sensor---has great latitude in having to crop tight. Enjoy!
