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?

So what the heck am I talking about?
