p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · night time skateboarding... pool skating... gear help | |
It's been a while since I was into photography, I used to shoot youth through high school sports (just my own kids).
I've taken up pool / bowl skateboarding (there is an active over 50 community), and would like to embrace photography again.
Unlike youth sports, this is short focal length mostly; and we usually skate at night (think tennis court lighting). I've never shot sports with flash, and I don't think I would really want to. Also keeping gear load minimal is of interest. If flash is the only way to really get wall hanger class photos, just tell me now, I can take it.
I would really like a full frame camera... the newest (best high ISO performance) camera I have access to is an 80D that actually belongs to my daughter. I don't know that I want to regularly take her gear.
My understanding is Nikon and Sony have the best AF tracking. I'm already in bed with Canon, but I think I'll be buying a 16-35/2.8 ish lens regardless of body choice. If I were to buy another brand, I find myself more interested in A9 than Nikon.
I'm thinking either 1DX (used), or 1DX2 (new), or A9. I'll buy a 16-35/2.8 either way. The 5dM4 is great, but I think I would regret not having the faster shooting camera.
Given the specific application (artificial light, night time, non flash, fast sports), and the fact that I'm skating, so I want whatever offers a high yield advantage with regard to focus tracking. I'll be shooting wide aperture, and pushing ISO, hoping to be able to pull it off without going to primes (I want to skate, and take pics, not piddle with gear more than necessary).
Thoughts? Am I wrong with my research summery options listed here?
