@@SusanshekPhoto As one New Yorker to another you know I was just kidding! Right?! 🤔 You're a great photographer so you can call it anything you damn like! 😮 😂 Btw, love your work! If you ever do any work in LA hit me up as an assistant shooter! I'd love to work with you.

@@SusanshekPhoto Looking forward to that.

Doctor DL it’s the Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, it’s a very famous NYC cathedral

@@user-kt3zm6xg5f Ahh I see, thanks !

Thank you for your question Ben! Sorry it took me a while to see this message. For the A9 I mainly use AF-S but sometimes if its dancing shots I use AF-C so I can have it focus better with moving subjects. I dont use eye-AF or face detect modes but I do have the center focus as my focal point

Susan Shek Photography thankyou Susan for your reply. Do you find it ever misses. People keep saying use afc as afs isn't as good. I've no idea why. Wat size flexible spot so you use

I use center focus and back button focus. There are so many focus points you really shouldn't be missing any focusing unless u are shooting very shallow for example f1.4 thats the only time I really have trouble if the subject is moving fast. I use AF-C for reception dancing shots and it helps. Also medium speed so I can take more shots and more options :)

Susan Shek Photography thankyou

Yes! This video was made almost a year ago.. Wow. A lot has changed since this video. I thought I would have more time to update with weekly videos, but that never happened. Haha. So now I sold my D5, yes it was way too heavy and I felt like it was time to make a big change. It wasn't hard to make the switch. Do miss the solid D5 sometimes because I can bang it around and not feel like it would break. I have to be a lot more careful with this A9 as the mirrorless system is pretty fragile. You can change the file sizes on both cameras. :)

Susan Shek Photography thank you for your reply! I recently bought a d810 and feel the difference between my old crop sensor d7200 thats why I was curious to ask. Sony mirrorless is also something I am looking to get into as considering for event photography because the weight is smaller. interesting to see that you were using both systems :). Keep up the good work!

Yeah, I tried the D810 but it wasn't right for me either. You should definitely get the new A7r3 for your event photography. It's great. The colors are incredible! I've been blown away by it.

Susan Shek Photography i will look into it. Heard great things about it. Id have to save quite a bit for it though. Thank you :)

Hi Paul! I didn't expect to get so busy! I dont have a lot of subscribers yet, but I did have a ton of views on the videos. I got so busy this year that I ended up shooting over 78 weddings.... so far so good! Everythings been amazing with the A9. Perfect for weddings, and the Sony A7r3 is great too, but the file sizes are too big for my liking.

I went and put in my order for the a7r3 last week since it got so many good reviews. I hope that maybe they will put in a firmware update so it would support smaller raw sizes like other camera manufacturers have. I am glad you are doing great with so many weddings. I hope to get into that next year after lots more practices. Look forward to your next video.

true

Blah blah blah.. Always the same cliche about is not the camera is the photographer....

lol ok www.dailycameranews.com/2017/04/nikon-d5-d500-sensors-made-sony/

Chris Grant thanks for your message. I corrected that by sharing a link to the type of Sony sensor in the Nikon D5.

raredreamfootage Sony a7s2

Oh, I'm surprised it wasn't able to balance out that window!

wasnt' shooting in S-log and put the video up real quickly

jonneymendoza so far lens and supposedly overheating Icon update soon

dodge nav wow how long were you shooting video for?! I don't think you are supposed to leave it on that long for video though right? So far so good and I have two backups 😳

I always have but its in my bag, i dont carry it when i shoot . Its a a garden ceremony, 3 camera set up 1 static , 2 person shooter. Im Using A9 with monopod + 24-70 GM . I said on and off not straight, it showed the overheat icon in the middle then just shut down. Scary I have to run mid ceremony to get my back up. I used it in indoors again @ the reception even longer during the speeches without any problem. try yours under the sun but its 69 high tomorrow.

dodge nav I'll check it out but so far I've used it for a week and I've had no issues and I shoot photos all day and night. Thanks for the heads up!

Don't get me wrong i love this camera , I bought it because it the best, everything in it is great , Eye Af, the touch screen focus , the joystick with nice lowlight capabilities, new batteries, to me 20fps is just a bonus. Theres a few outdoor weddings for me but the fact it did shut down is scary. With 2 bodies and sling strap doing photos I dont think your camera is exposed under the sun directly for a period of time. Thanks

dod713 update coming soon for overheating icon

Omar Abbas has a Sony sensor not a9 I'll find out which one

Yea having a sony sensor is nothing new in a Nikon body but you said it has the same sensor as the A9 which got me.

Omar Abbas sorry I meant Sony Sensor lol not a9

nikonrumors.com/2017/03/31/the-nikon-d5-and-d500-sensors-are-both-made-by-sony.aspx/ Thank you.

Samuel Andersen that's coming next! I needed some working flashes and also don't want to make videos too long and boring :)

Susan Shek Photography your flashes works fine. Just put your A9 in Mechanical shutter mode. 🤘🏼looking forward to your video.

Samuel Andersen no I was using pocket wizard with my Nikon sb910s before lol

Susan Shek Photography Ahh that will never work. 🤓

Luke Standridge thanks for your support!! ☺️

Rodel Photo ooooh good luck! Hope it doesn't overheat! 😂

Thank you! Isn't it amazing? Now I'm trying to come up with all the reasons why I should sell my Nikon D5 lol

Susan Shek Photography I'm in love it it 😃 Not one shot missed as people walked down the aisle and the AF is super fast. I sold 1 of my A7R2 bodies and use my other as the 2nd camera at weddings.

Darryl Wilson yes!!! I'm about to sell my a7r2 as well

Susan Shek Photography awesome!!! 😃

Susan Shek Photography because there are better wedding/ portrait Nikon bodies available. .... the d800 models for example.

Lol you don't even give anything a chance?

Michael Mystro Pierce omg good to know!! I need that! In two hours in already at 71% 😭

Yeah the camera is pretty packed with technology so it's going to drain a bit but it's much better than previous older models, i have a A7R2 and a A7s2 as well and it's much better battery life than that but its not a Canon DSLR lol but it's getting close :) Did you want to stay light and go without the battery grip?

Michael Mystro Pierce have you heard about the overheating? I also hate how I can't use the flash in burst mode. Low light focusing is bad too 🙈

No overheating for me and no not on the A9 i haven't herd that. You can use the flash in Mechanical mode 5 fps, thats normal more so because of the flash refresh rate, most if not all flashes can't do more than 5-7 flash per second. From what i understand no company has made a flash for an electrical shutter in burst mode, i can check more on that but i'm pretty sure thats the case. I'm having great results in low lighting much better than the A7R2 and A6500. What AF setting are you using and for what type of photography, just asking?

On the A7rii I can use low shutter with flash - with a9 it's single shot only - and I shoot weddings so reception time I want to get in on the action and I can't 😭

ramone011 haha it's really to show my excitement! Better videos of me actually using it and testing it in the real world coming soon!

"nowadays"? It's been happening for years.

Narcissism?

have you been living under a rock for the past decade??

not nowadays?, this is long b4 you were born

smaller MP really matters, better focusing, better features, grip, and much more I will find out tomorrow lol. I am bringing all three cameras tomorrow to wedding to review!

Susan Shek Photography great, I am subscribing

Luke Standridge Hi Luke! Thank you for your comment! I haven't had a chance to test it yet since I am patiently waiting for the battery to charge. I am planning on doing some real world testing tomorrow on a wedding in a church and then reception so everything will be documented. I might even have an A9 to record it too 😌

I'm really excited to see any new videos you post! I looked at your website and your photos are incredible! I'm curious how the a9 will work in weddings. I'm sure it'll beyond great!

Aww thank you for your support! Much appreciated! This makes me want to make more videos with your encouragement and positivity! Thank you!

Please do!! I will definitely watch! Which camera did you use before? and which lenses if you don't mind my asking?

Luke Standridge I have A7r2 and A7s2 with Batis 85mm 1.8 55mm 1.8 and Sony 35mm 1.4 and G Master 24-70 and 85 1.4 - Hoping to get 100MM g master soon and 70-200 next! I love Sony so much!
