Like many photographers I have looked at medium format cameras as a possible next step up in that search for, well just more.  More resolution without making the pixel size smaller, more color depth, more dynamic range possible…mostly just more. 

For the most part we are very happy with the gear that we have for photography and video work but….and this is quite a but….Nikon has been turning my head quite often with the gear they have been putting out.

From the start of the mirrorless camera era Sony was quick to come out with both many cameras and many lenses each year.  This allowed Sony to quickly make improvements in a way that I never saw Canon or Nikon do during the DSLR era.

As a Nature and wildlife photographer there was a “holy grail” camera that I had been looking for.  High resolution, great tracking autofocus, and high number of frames per second for that tracking.

For the last couple of months I have been doing a lot of research on better tripod solutions for what we do. I don’t tend to use a tripod often when doing nature/bird photography but I have been trying to slow down and concentrate a bit more when I’m doing landscape work. What I have been trying to do is find a good main tripod system that can easily go from video to landscape to wildlife use.
