Sports photography is a true test for cameras. Perhaps more than any photo discipline, shooting sports photography leaves you little opportunity for a second chance and demands that your camera works at peak efficiency. I’ll save the classic caveat that you can shoot any subject with any camera for another article, and while I encourage all photographers to start with the camera they have, there should be little argument that cameras with a fast burst rate, good buffer depth, fast and accurate autofocus, a compatible lineup of telephoto lenses, and a durable build are the best cameras for sports photography and normally those features come at a cost. Let’s have a brief look at five cameras from five manufacturers that are best suited for sports photography.
Sony
The Sony Alpha a9 II Mirrorless Digital Camera has been a recent favorite for sports photographers, but the release of the Sony Alpha 1 Mirrorless Digital Camera changed all that. Sony is willing to call this camera its flagship “do it all” camera, and its specs bear that out. A 50MP full-frame sensor, expansive ISO range, and up to 30 fps continuous shooting with the electronic shutter are instant draws, but speeds of 10 fps with an improved mechanical shutter and a large buffer memory permit recording up to 155 compressed raw frames, or 165 JPEGs in one single burst, thanks to the BIONX XR processor. It also offers a “blackout-free viewfinder experience” and an impressive Fast Hybrid AF system that incorporates 759 phase-detection points along with 425 contrast-detection areas and Eye-AF for quick and precise focusing. Five-axis image stabilization, top-notch video specs, dual card slot with SD and CFexpress Type A, and a robust, weather-sealed build are just a few other important features, and while not yet the equal to Nikon or Canon, Sony’s lens system provides a range of stellar telephotos and pro zooms.
