I don't think that's entirely true. This is a leveler. There's a saying supposedly from the Old West, God created Men, Sam Colt made them equal. In a fight with clubs the bigger heavier opponent has an advantage in a fight with guns, a lot of that advantage goes away. Let me tell a story,

Yes, but it doesn't take nearly as much skill. That's half what big name sports photographers used to get paid for, the knowledge of the sport, not just where to point the camera, someone with a bit more than passing knowledge can do that, but when press the shutter to capture the best

It's no longer a decisive moment, but a decisive interval. You still have to know which direction to point the camera, how to frame the subject matter, and when to press the button. > On 20 Apr 2017, at 17:10, P. J. Alling wrote: > > If you want to pay the price. >

If you want to pay the price. So Sony's introduced the a9, a 20 frame/second 24mp camera with no EVF blackout. Everything about it seems great. If I were a professional sports photographer I'd really want this camera. Yet I am saddened by it as well. It changes the skill set from knowing
