Last week, I did a talk on motorsport photography to a local camera club, and I said something about mirrorless cameras and DSLR cameras that might ruffle a few feathers: “the differences are minimal”. I said this shortly after discussing the very best cameras for sports photography on the market, namely the Sony A9 III, Canon EOS R1, Nikon Z9, and Fujifilm X-H2S.
I also mentioned the Nikon D6 and Canon EOS-1D X Mark III, two of the most advanced DSLR cameras on the planet. And you know what? The aforementioned mirrorless cameras would be rolling in the aisles at 14fps (16 or 20fps for the Canon), archaic AF, and standard CMOS sensors (no stacking or global shutter here). So what the heck am I talking about?
