Today I wasshooting Large LPEG's at ISO 200 at about 1/1500th of a second and couldn't get over 28 in a burst at 8.5 shots per second. That's less than 4 seconds of shooting. The average football...

So far, I haven't been able to get over 28 shots in a row before it slows to a crawl. I'm just trying to figure out what card Canon was using when they rated this at 40 shots at 8.5 shots per second....

I just boughta used 1D MkII and my current 133x 8GB compact flash card slows it down. I only get a couple seconds at 8.5 fps before it slows WAY down.

I appreciate all the specifics. That's a big help.


What does "CPL" stand for?

Thanks! You've motivated me to check the manual more closely.


All the best,

I just bought a 1D Mark II for photographing my kids' football games. I'm wondering how most 1D users set the auto-focus points for football. I assumed one of the top center points would be best, but...

Thanks for the feedback. I got to try a 5DII this afternoon with the 70-200L IS USM and had three of the neighborhood kids run straight toward me from about 50 yards away a few times.


Exactly...

I shoot most sports in aperture priority (Av) set at the maximum aperture for the lens on the camera. If you've got a kit lens, that's probably f3.5 to 4.5. In order to stop the blur indoors, you'll...

How does the 5DII perform for sports? Does anybody have any quantified data on the % of out-of-perfect-focus shots you get in a football or soccer game?


And how does that compare to the % OOPF...

Mike,





I shoot lots of flag football games. To me - and I think to the parents - the best part of the action photos is catching the facial expressions of the players. For that reason, I...
