Walking into dark gyms can be tough when you have the wrong equipment. Pictures come out dark, with lots of motion blur, and nothing can seem to be sharp and in focus. Using a newer lightweight mirrorless camera matched with a fast short telephoto prime lens is the answer. In this video I describe a camera and lens system that will give you a perfect small system that won't break the bank. I talk about the Sony A6700 camera body which can shoot up to 10 frames per second, and I offer information on three different prime lenses that will get the job done so you can be proud of your work.

![Nova Scotia at f/4: A week with Sony A7CII & 3 lenses shooting Whales, birds in flight, and nature
I spent a week up on the Southern Coast of Nova Scotia last week with my wife on vacation. Our goal was to see and photograph whales in the Bay of Fundy and we were rewarded with much more. I chose my favorite camera to take along, the Sony A7CII. Its small, lightweight, full-frame, and has a 33mp sensor that is truly remarkable. I took four lenses with me.
