D30 Burst

[TulsaRod]

Eye have a question:

When using the D30 in burst mode, what would I see thru the view finder?

Does it stay black for all the burst shots? (mirror stays up)

Does it change from black to lens view like an old time movie so I can watch the subject?

Does anyone use the burst mode and how do you like it?

What is the burst rate in raw mode? (uh oh)

Thank ya, thank ya very much.

No, you can see the through the viewfinder, the mirror just flips up and down again (like you'd expect from a normal film camera).

Yeah.

I've used it, but I don't really need it -- I do animal photography and macro shots, mainly. Seems to me it's a nice-to-have feature, but I wouldn't miss it if the D30 didn't have it.

Tried once -- I would say about 2-3 fps for 5 frames, then rate decreases dramatically.

Hope that helps,
