Went riding (Motocross) yesterday so I brought the new Mk3 along to test it before todays San Diego Supercross race.
Deleted a few that I screwed up, but overall all of the shots are in there. Much better keeper ratio than the 40D. There are a few using the 10FPS that are OOF in the sequence. The ones that were not sharp in the 1st frame I can probably blame on myself........just whipping the camera around and pulling the trigger. But if I followed the subject for a second before (like I should) the shots were much better. Don't know about the mid sequence OOF shots, but 1 out of 5-8 isn't going to worry me that much. Shot quite a few @ 3.2 (70-200 2.8 non IS), but then went to my norm of 5.0. A couple were processed to send to buddies, but 99% are out of the camera, default "Standard" settings with a tiny bit of USM on the resize (.07/100)

Keep in mind this was pretty much just a testing shoot, so you won't find any real "money" shots :wink:
.....however what does bother me is the fact that a piece of hair got on my focusing screen and when I used the rocket blower to get it off I ended up with crap all over the sensor. Stuff that I can not seem to blow off.....ahhhhh!
