Camera body build question...

[gsgary]

Get a 1Dmk2 then, mine is battered and still keeps going

I was thinking that....I need the FPS though if I'm going to be shooting sports. I'm thinking both the 7D and 5D mark ii

5D is no good for sport and who told you you need high frames per second for sport ? you just need to know the sport and have good timing

Easier said than done....easier said than done...lol

You don't NEED high FPS per se, but it sure is nice to have.

Well then Canon must have made a typo...

It's not a typo. That is the way ad writers write. It is up to you to be at least as intelligent as they.

They both take photos dont they so what it the point of comparing a Mini with a Rolls Royce

All these analogies are confusing me. Of course they take photos, I'm talking about the build difference within the names. How is that so hard to grasp? I feel like I'm being trolled

Lol. Trolldouchebagalert.

I went online and decided to compare the build between a cheap fast FPS camera, the Canon 7D and then the very more expensive 1D Mark iv. Canon says that the 7D has a magnesium body and that the Mark iv has a magnesium alloy body. What's the difference?

They both have the alloy body. The 1d mark iv's weather sealing is supposed to be better.

Yea I've heard that the 7D and 5D line up have foam seals and the 1D's have rubber gaskets

True, but for times sake high FPS is great. Canon 7D's advantage: APS-H sensor. I love being close to the action

Agreed, but like I said to the other person, for the sake of time and I can also have more chances of getting shots of the unexpected. I'll have a hard time explaining that, but more frames = more chances of getting far more than 1 great photo when bursting it

spray and pray then?

spray and pray then?

No that's a terrible idea for sports, only spray during the right moment, not the whole game

I've seen professional sports photographers spray and praying with their wide angled or fish eye lenses at the end of an NFL game. In the crowd on the field they hold their camera above the crowd and unleash it pointed towards the players direction. That's the only time I see that method of use during a sporting event

shooting that way you usually get the shot each side of the one you want

What? Can you simplify what you just said if possible?

shooting that way you can miss peak action

My guess is that the unobtanium would make it lighter

No. That's the magnesium. The unobtanium makes it shoot faster.
