Golf and Photography

correct…that was looking back like 2 or 3 holes…the group in the picture was the group behind us…we had 3 and they had 4 so we got out like 3 holes on them i think…they were on the green and you can see just in front of them the tee box to the next hole, which was a par 3…

100% need to say that the fore caddy was awesome, and we 100% needed him to be there and he was well worth the money.

Shoutout to Colton the fore caddie

For the sake of a GREAT story, I’m going to believe that’s the same fish in all three pictures.

I’ve got a Canon EOS 60D that I’ve taken on the course a couple of times.

But yeah, if it’s not in a cart, it’s a pretty much a no-go for me. Too much effort.

I did take it to Singapore/Bali once, took pictures of monkeys.

Does anybody know if B&H does any kind of good Black Friday deals? Looking to get a camera and wanted to see if anybody have anything to offer

What cameras are refugees taking out on the course to get some decent photos…?

Sony RX100V. Fits in my pocket and has more power than I can consistently capitalize on for sure.

Sony a6400. It’s a beast and very portable

Nice. How do you find the image quality of the g5x?

I’m in the market for a good camera for taking photos when playing. Don’t want to lug around my full frame camera and considering something like a g5 or g7. Nice and compact

For a point and shoot, I can freeze action at 2000 shutter speed and get a decent amount of distance coverage (24-100mm). Most important part is a GREAT battery life, solid video that’s easy to pickup, and a light and small form factor that can easily find it’s way into a golf bag (plus is decently weather-resistant).

I’ll post some shots here in a sec:

You might also want to look at a mirrorless system (a6000 for example) for something that is smaller that bridges the gap between a point and shoot and a full size DSLR. That’s likely where I’m looking next, but I haven’t seen the form factor in person yet (aka can it fit in my pocket)

@anon3456542 just to give you more options along the same line, here’s pictures from my Sony RX100V. I think it’s more expensive than the G5/G7x lines, but they’re basically the same size with comparable power (the RX100V has a viewfinder)

I had a mirrorless and it was still too big with a lens that I never used it. Something this small and this powerful has let me take it out way more than I ever would have before. Really comes down to what you’re trying to accomplish in your photos, how you envision yourself using the camera on the course, etc.

Mirrorless is good as you get the bigger sensor, but lose the smaller compact size.

It’s more a throw in the bag camera which gets better shots than the iPhone, manual controls and shots RAW.

Always a compromise somewhere with cameras
