Is it really the acceleration?

They seem to feel that similar results cannot be achieved using consumer level gear. True, I use a top-of-the-line acceleration, and there are many reasons for doing so. But rare is the shot that I was able to with an EOS-1 d or 5 D Mark III which I also don’t with a Rebel T5i could get./PPSTRONGSo that the question calls: why pros spend so much money on top-of-the-line cameras and lenses?/STRONG/PPThe EOS-1 d X and Nikon D4s, the top two leading pro level cameras available, shooting both at 12 frames per second (fps) or faster. Often, is that fast shooting unnecessary. But when you’re a working pro, and your paycheck you just the right moment during a sporting event, or hangs when shooting an event capture news that speed can be the difference between the decisive moment is missing, or capturing the exact shot meaning your editor or a customer is looking for. In the series above, I was shooting at 12 frames per second, and these three consecutive frames were the peak action of a save made by the keeper./PIMG class=” wp-image-66829″ alt=”Rebel_Sports” src=”http://www.photo-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wpid-RebelSports.jpg” width=”300″ height=”450″Rebel T2i and EF-S 55-250 f/4-5.6 IS
