BEST GEAR FOR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY

[@andrewcroft2570]

Great video Marc, I think I have to disagree with you on the best camera for Gig photography. I think the Canon R3 is by far the best with its 24.2 MP, it's unique eye control focus and will either lock onto an eye or face, -3 EV and in-body stabilisation of 8 stops and can be bought second hand for a little over £3000. Moreover, with the EF adaptor, you can use all your old EF glass

Good shout, I did realise afterwards about the R3/R1. I guess I also wanted to think of cameras sub £2000 area too. So much choice! 🤣

Using an apsc with an f4/5.6 lens at the moment. Should i upgrade to a fullframe or an f2.8 24/70 lens first?

@@TOTO_1708 you don't have to go full-frame, you can even get a lens with a wider max aperture. F1.8 or f2.8 is perfect!

I disagree the best piece of equipment is yourself and your brain to get creative you can have a a good camera and still take amazing shots 😉 i used a £150 second hand camera and photographed Olly Murs and he used my photos then photographers with thousands of pounds worth of quipment its all about been creative and having a eye for photography. Other then that ive moved to a Nikon D750 and Nikon Z7 now haha

Are you not allowed to bring flash/light to concert?

[@mleachphoto]

@@Kojaaakman in most cases no. Many gigs require first 3 songs no flash. If you're working for the band or working at a local show, you have a better chance of using flash
