    Updating my kit list as went from the Sony A7iii to a second hand A9 a couple of months ago; much enjoyment! Particularly for horse sport photography 30fps with no blackout on a fully electronic shutter is great, also good for moving wildlife and lovely in the hand for zoo trips. Such a lovely piece of kit.

    I used Canon 60D using my sigma lens or one that reaches up to 200 mm (wish I had a longer range one). Usually use manual setting to focus on whichever feature I'm trying to take.

    I use my Nikon D3500 since its the best one for my price range. I do hope to upgrade to a D500 or an R5 one day in the future.
