Originally posted by khardur Someone may have pointed this out already, but you telling someone they are "reverting to personal attacks typical of a mindless fanboy" seems to me like you are the one doing exactly that.
I guess you missed the other thread...
I did too until it was locked, shame :ugh:
Originally posted by khardur: 9fps is just helping average photographers get a good shot once in a while. If you rely on 9fps to get "the" shot, I would gather you could probably study your subject more and get better at it firing off one or two at the right moment instead.
It's certainly not something I would label a necessity in any shooting situation. (Super-fast AF would be higher on my priority for getting a sharp action shot)
When I was at Road America a couple weeks ago, I sat next to a guy with a 40D and 100-400L. A guy down in front had the same but with a 55-200IS.
They were clickclickclickclickclicking away, and taking the same shots as I was, clicking in lonely old single shot mode. My FA 80-320 was prefocused (with manual mode I might add), with my left eye open to see the cars come into the corner.
Did I miss a couple shots? Probably. Did I catch some good ones? Oh, yeah
Little old single mode, AF lens MF'ed...
battle for 2nd in GT2.
Flyover by A10...AF, panning (hand held), FA 80-320, single mode...this guy was hauling ass about 200ft off the ground. First picture I've taken of a plane, this low
Kind of blurry cause I had to zoom OUT...wow, he was close and movin...
I love LeMans Edit: (Please don't mind the random Zooomr account. Still trying to decide if I want to pay Flickr or smugmug to show my pix.)
I have a camera. I have stuff for it. I make them work together. I like the piktchures it captures. I used to have a Canon. I gave it almost a year. It wouldn't cooperate. Nikons don't feel right. Sonys are plain weird. Pentax works for me. Simple.
By the way, I use M like 99% of the time, Av the other 1%
I have 2 Pentax lenses, 1 P SLR, 1 DLSR, and I use an
SB-24 on the K10D!!!!! Oh, the travesty
Please, can someone call me a fanboy?
