Talked to former colleagues this past week, day to day photojournalists opting for lighter cameras & lenses over speed/l

Newer bodies also likely do better in low light, allowing them to use lighter and slower lenses. And with more of the scene being in focus as a result.

When I left the paper in 2009, after they'd laid off most of the photography department, reporters were being trained in how to use point-and-shoot cameras.

Hardly mattered, as many more published stories actually came from AP, Reuters etc.


Yes, my colleagues are saying the publication may purchase Sony A9 II or A1 and 200-600mm 5.6-6.3 as a lens to use for all sports, including low light. The ISO 40,000 on the A1 looks better than ISO 1600 on the 1D Mark II I used back in the day.
