PG Hardware

Many of my limits are due to my current hardware. I am constantly upgrading and improving my pipeline.

Canon T3i18MP, 20mm prime polarizedDSLR, polarized, cinematic, good for reference and photographyOld, low megapixels, slow
Pixel 8 Pro50MPThe best megapixels available to me, especially for the priceCan't be polarized, no SD card so transfering is slow

The Pixel 8 Pro is my main capture device at the moment and the results have been great. I want to upgrade to the Sony a7R V to get that 61mp. The biggest drawback with the Pixel 8 Pro is the lack of being able to polarize so shiny dielectric surfaces will always be a problem.
