There's no way you're going to get this kind of stop-action with 99% (if not all) cameraphones. They just can't do the fast shutter speed.

You cannot know how much it was shopped or what lense was used. So you just name the two most common mid value cameras. Good chances.

Not prosumer high end, broseph. You're comparing a 5k tops camera to an 11k+ set up with MAYBE some accessible glass.

13 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I doubt it, unless it was used with a cheap kit lens. I think it could be any DSLR or mirrorless camera with APS-C sensor.

13 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I can almost guarantee you that this is a full frame sensor. 2. This is nice glass based on the bokeh of the shots. Probably around 2.8?

13 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Bokeh is decent but there's too much CA for my taste for it to be "nice glass". But then again I haven't used AF lenses for a long time.

13 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

So you were close. Reddit source says it was a 5Dmk2 with 24-105L (so that's f/4). Decent lens, but not "nice" glass by my definitions. ;)

13 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The last 3 shots also have quite a lot of grain, IMO.

13 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not to mention that the grain COULD be attributed to post-processing, which has happened to me far too often.

13 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Every prosumer DSLR on the market has increased gain on lower ISO shots. The bokeh seems to be at least 8 bladed due to the circular shape.
