Although I shoot primarily sports using Canon 1 series DSLR bodies, I travel quite a bit and for short trips via air a Canon M6 II with its 18-150 is my camera setup of choice. With the responsiveness of 1 series bodies, phone cameras drive me crazy...

I was reminded tonight while shooting a HS soccer match that it is often easy to complain about camera specifications, control layout, menu design, etc. but compared to the true pain our subjects often suffer we have a VERY easy life as photographers...

I have shot thousands of soccer match photos over the years but none capture the sheer joy of the beautiful game better than this player's happiness and exuberance! Captured with a Canon 1DX III and EF 200-400 extender @ 488mm, 1/1250, f5.6, ISO 500...

I second Rick's advice about always having the camera tethered to you in some way. I shoot most sports with two camera bodies and I use a harness that attaches them via swivel mounts with shock absorbing straps AND they have a backup safety strap to...

I have never owned any flavor of Canon's 100-400 lens but I have owned a Sigma 150-600 for several years and I have been impressed. Two years ago, a friend asked me to shoot some photos of a crop duster helicopter that was operating out of his ag fa...

It does sound like there is likely a problem with the camera, it is rare with the 1 series but it happens. Rodger

I would echo what Rick stated about the focal length and sports. For a few events, I will use a 24-70 on one body but primarily I will be using a pair of bodies with a EF 70-200 f2.8 on one and a 300 f2.8, 400 f2.8, or 200-400 f4 with integrated 1.4...

I have updated my 1DX, 1DX II, and 1DX III bodies multiple times. The update time taken is not linear and once it gets in the mid 70 to 80% range it will slow and sometimes appear to stop several times and I recall one of the 1DX III updates appeare...
