Video of the new Canon EOD-1D Mark III firing off @ 10fps

[smyth]

how could that even be useful? Even in fairly bright situations my camera only comes out with dark pictures due to fast shutter speeds. I imagine those shots are being fired off at like what............ 1/2000 or so?

1/8000

as with the other 1D series you can set the frame rate to what you want to use.
You could have continuous high as 5fps and continuous low as 2fps if you wanted

I've used my 1D mkII at 8.5 frames per second 1/250 sec you don't need to set 1/8000 to use fast frame rates

Ok, that video was very fun to watch. I mean this as a compliment: the guy had that full-on Beavis and Butthead smile at the end of the demo.

i don't see why you're complaining, most other dSLR's have a life of 1 or 2 hundred thousand...plus most photographers that use this type of camera are good enough to actually know when the action is about to occur...they aren't spray-and-prayers.

If that was referring to my post .. please detect the humour and irony in there
