The real reason I exchanged my D3 for a D700 was not size, weight, sensor cleaning or pop up flash...
but...
...the fact that with D3, I could make 9 bad pictures in a second,
with D700 I can only make 5 bad pictures in a second...
So since I have D700 I make @ full speed 4 bad pictures/sec less than with my D3...
Everybody has his own way to progress...

Re: My confession...
Hey Stany, I have a very nice S5 sitting on my desk. With it you could only take 1.5 bad pictures ;)
Interested?
(It will be finished soon, too)

No. The enthusiasm of progressing too fast is bad for a 48 year old man's health...pam.meier wrote:Hey Stany, I have a very nice S5 sitting on my desk. With it you could only take 1.5 bad pictures ;)

Re: My confession...
I always wonder why people seem to need cameras that can be used like a machinegun: just spraying around and spend hours at the computer deleting the images afterwards.
My cameras are never on continuous shooting; I even don't know how to set them to such a setting for sports shooters. I use the manual to set them to " single" and never look back. Or are there just all sports shooters out there?

I do need some kind of a machinegun camera, I'm even going to buy the MB10 for my D700 to get 8fps, here is one of my reasons why:

Re: My confession...
I agree with both Stany's points - normally a high burst rate is just a waste but sometimes it can help make a nice sequence, I sometimes machine gun for a second and end up with a whole jump sequence which can be quite fun.
Re: My confession...
Machine gunning often helps people get a steady shot. I´ve got shaky hands, you know?
Manual focus bracketing also helps. You prefocus and while pressing the shutter you adjust focus. Works nicely for fast lenses.

Re: My confession...
Nice answere and nice three photo's, Stany. I should do the same to buy D700 with the MB10. It's true, I also shoot single with my camera, a habit when we worked with films; we had to be much more economical. I consider continuous shooting with moving subjects. My hands are also shaking Pam. Thanks for your tips.

For Betty/// Re: My confession...
Shooting handhold with D700 I prefer AF-C mode and high speed over AF-S and single frame shooting. I simply get better results. Deleting a couple of similar pictures takes little time and often I can quit the closed-eyes pictures problem...BNikolai wrote:Nice answere and nice three photo's, Stany.
