I shoot sports with both a Canon 7d mk2 and a 5d mk3, both utilizing a Canon 300mm 2.8 Series 2 lens and a Canon 70-200 f2.8 Series 1, in various combinations. At several events this year, a couple of Nikon shooters and myself were having conversations about the lighting of the stadium and comparing settings. I found that they were able to shoot at much faster shutter speeds and lower iso than myself. In both cases they were shooting Nikon D4s, and Nikon 400 mm 2.8 and Nikon 300 2.8 lenses. While they were shooting at 1/1600 sec, f2.8, iso 2000, I was shooting manually at 1/800 sec, f2.8, iso 5000 with the 300 lens. I have gone over and over my settings and can't find anything that may be contributing this issue. Has anyone else experienced a situation like this, or have any ideas what I could check as a cause of the discrepancy between my settings and theirs? Is it correct to say that I should be able to shoot with similar settings as my Nikon pals? Any info greatly appreciated!
