The vast majority of boxing photographers use Canon equipment, but here’s a review of the latest Nikon pro sports camera. Will it make Canon shooters switch? Probably not because they’d have to buy all new lenses also. The new D6 will set you back $6,496.95.

Great post Karl. I am a Nikon user, I hope to make a jump at some point to the Nikon D5 but the 6 is a bit out of the price range and does not add a big difference to the work we are creating. The extra frames per-second are a bonus but not necessarily needed. If you had the chance to shoot film back in the day, your limitations were far greater than today, but timing and anticipation, with a sport like boxing, has always been of the utmost importance when trying freeze and capture action.

Hi Emily, I’m a Nikon shooter also. A D750 and nifty-fifty works great for boxing. When Fightnews first started it was still the film days. We had to rush film to an all-night lab after the fights were over and they’d put it on a CD. Very slow and expensive. — “Spray & Pray” Karl

Hey Em & Karl, I too am a Nikon guy. This camera looks to be the cat’s meow, but definitely has lion’s price tag! We can always dream!

Nikon recently left the firearm industry making scopes/optics to focus on their cameras and other endeavors. This is where it must start with a great product.
