Freezing the action
For sports photography, it's all about speed. Burst shooting has totally changed the game, giving photographers a fighting chance at getting that perfect shot, even if it means sifting through hundreds of near-identical images to find it! With the arrival of mirrorless bodies, that frames-per-second count has gone through the roof, with some cameras capable of taking north of 30 pictures in a single second. It might not be 'blink and you'll miss it' anymore, but you'll still need to be well and truly switched on to capture those key moments - especially as modern sport has never been nippier.
High-octane footage
For sports videography, choice has never been more wide-ranging. The traditional option of taking a fixed-lens camcorder is still extremely popular, due to the simplicity of shooting using a camera specifically designed for that purpose, often featuring extra audio channels and an impressive zoom. Having said that, the latest mirrorless cameras offer shooting options that often surpass those old-school offerings, and provide additional benefits like being able to choose a suite of lenses and accessories to really tailor your setup to the sport you're filming.
