Best Professional Sports Photographer Camera

A must own for any serious or professional sports photographer.

Best camera I have ever had. I love it. I’m a professional wedding photographer and videographer and it is perfect for me.

I am a professional sports photographer and I have relied on the EOS 1D bodies since the first version. From the outside, this body doesn't look much different than the 1DX, but the shutter is updated, with a cleaner, more consistent response to the release button - and if you can set your shutter lag to either standard or shortened, depending on how quick your trigger finger is. Once you've assessed which autofocus setting works best for your situation, the focus is incredibly precise. I generally shoot on Manual metering, but on my test runs I've seen that when using the various auto metering modes it only occasionally gets fooled by dark or light background situations. The incident that sold me on the camera: I had borrowed an associate's 1DX mkii while shooting in an indoor arena. During the competition, the arena lights went out. A transformer had blown, leaving the arena with only the emergency lighting. I decided to see what exactly the camera could do, and dialed it ISO up to 40,000. The camera could see better than I could, and I walked away with images that were usable after applying noise reduction. This is a pro camera. It's a workhorse. It's heavy. But if you're shooting sports or wildlife, it's the right tool for the job.

I am a professional Photographer who photographs weddings, and also a sports photographer. I use this on my sports shoots. It also works great to Shade your subject if your in open sun shooting.

Best location kit to have. Every professional photographer should have this!

This has got to be the BEST camera strap that I have ever purchased and used in my 27 years as a professional photographer. I purchased 2 last weekend and I plan to purchase 2 more of these straps tomorrow Monday 9/16/19. These straps are strong, comfortable and not expensive. It is not complicated to use or wear and it serves its original purpose which is to comfortably hold the camera around the user's neck. I recommend this camera trap to ALL photographers whether they are beginners or pros.

I now own 3.. It is the best for sports & all around body.. The Best...

As a professional sports and event photographer, a vertical power grip is a must. With the Fuji, I now have the power of 3 batteries for a full day of shooting. Also, the ability to go into the Boost mode directly from the grip helps a lot. Costly but worth it!

This makes three now and I love them all! I'm a professional sports photographer and I'm very hard on all my equipment. I've used them for years and haven't broken one yet!

I am a professional sports photographer for universities, high schools, national track websites and a life-long Pentax user. Among many things, the K-3 Mark III definitely delivers in shutter speed, auto focus and build quality. Add to that its weather sealing and durability, which is a Pentax given, and you have the professional camera that we have all been waiting for as an upgrade. I highly recommend Pentax and I am thrilled with the K-3 Mark III!
