I note they were seeing between 5-8 fps depending on what lens they were using. I would not be surprised with the 8 fps rate in real-life use, but 5 fps is just way too much of a hit and I hope that is just an anomaly here.
    Brant can tell you of the time I rented a Sony APC that was either 11 or 12 fps mirrorless and the 1dx was along too. The difference was pretty astounding on the sound levels. We both busted out laughing when the 1dx fired off and he couldn't here me w/ the Sony.
    If you see me with a wrench, call 911

    Ha ha yes the 1DX is the Harley Davidson of cameras... it's not exactly known for its stealth . That said, I've never spooked an animal because of the shutter noise.
