Some with new hardware

Default is 12 and can be set to 14 if you do not mind the shutter remaining open during the entire sequence. I am not sure what that entails but does not sound good...

The other thing is you can set the burst rate to lower, even 2.

Hi Bobo,

Not quite. The shutter opens and closes as per normal, but the mirror stays locked up (so no view finder, live view, focusing, or exposure metering while you're firing), and it has to be in JPEG mode, not RAW. It's more suited to remote activation scenarios.

Thanks for the correction Colin. My bad.

Great shots Bobo, especially #3. With all this fancy gear, we'll be expecting even higher standards from you now !

Thanks Dave.

LOL.
What happened to it is the "photographer not the equipment" ??

[Bobobird]

Yep..."With great power comes great responsibility"

Yup, now have to be more careful about making sure not to knock the stuff around. I used to be pretty careless with the handling the equipment. Now I have to make sure that my rather rough use does not cause those around me to get hurt.

Awesome Pics Bobo! We will be looking for more now.

Thanks James. I am always hopeful. But it is winter back home and the opportunities will be limited.
