Some curious data about the most used “bird photography gear” in China

Share

We are used to get full info about the camera sales on the Japanese market. But we rarely get some info from the rest of the world. So it’s curious to see what CameraBeta posted today: They shared the list of the most used gear from Bird Photographers. As I don’t speak chinese I didn’t fully understand how the data was collected. Would appreciate if some of our Chinese readers can send me additional info…thanks!

So here is the list:

Most used cameras for bird photography:

  1. Canon EOS R5
  2. Canon EOS-1Dx Mark II
  3. Sony a1
  4. Canon EOS R3
  5. Nikon Z 9
  6. Canon EOS-1Dx Mark III
  7. Nikon D500
  8. Sony a9
  9. Canon EOS R7
  10. Nikon D5

Most used lenses for bird photography:

  1. Sony 200-600mm FE
  2. Canon 600mm f/4.0
  3. Canon 100-500mm
  4. Sony 600mm f/4.0
  5. Nikkor 500mm PF
  6. Canon 600mm f/4.0

There seems to be a supply issue for camera manufacturers in Japan

Sony 24-50mm G at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, FotoErhardt, Calumet, Fotokoch, WexUK, ParkCameras, Jessops.

You might have noticed that the last product announced by Sony (A9III, 300GM, 24-50G) did only ship out 3 months after the announcement. Moreover I do know from trusted sources that the rumored 16-25mm G lens launch has been delayed because of production issues at Sony. Lately also Sigma and OM Digital announcement shipment delays. I have no info about what the reasons could be. But today Yaotomicamera wrote that there are “Difficulties in parts procurement“.

Could be that there is some kind of parts bottleneck that is affecting most of the industry? Latest info is that also the upcoming ZV-E10II will ship out later than expected. Hope sources can tell me more about this soon!

Matt Granger reviews the new Sony a9 III and likes it a lot

Share

Above you can watch Matt Granger’s review of the new Sony A9III.

And ThePhoBlographer reports about a “Sony a9 III Secret Setting You Need to Know About”:

It’s called Flash Timing Setting — and it’s something others haven’t talked about. The sweet spot is to set it to 400 and above.
With this setting activated, the camera and a strobe, like the Profoto B10 I used, can shoot pretty seamlessly
