Ok. Thanks.

? In expansion ISO I am sure this was asked already you can choose 50 but after 1600 it jumped to 3200. Is that normal?

Yup

Climbs to 19 but that's it.I tried a different CF card and lowered the jpeg quality on card 2.

If you're writing RAW + JPG at the same time it will definitely drop,,,, if shooting RAW only with fast shutter, low ISO and NR off it should jump to 22?

Yup

Thanks. I turned off the NR and checked the burst it is 19. Is there any effect if you shoot raw and turned the NR on? Or only if you shoot jpeg? Or does it say in the manual?

Thanks

I can't tell any difference in my photographs between NR on and NR off (maybe you can?),, but the camera is clearly doing something.

The manual just says use the NR feature during bulb exposures. It doesn't specifically state that NR is only applied to bulb shots. Even though I can't tell the difference,, I think we have to assume the camera is applying NR to every click when the feature is turned on.

I don't really shoot JPG,, I know you get a much bigger burst though (obviously).

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I dont see it either, i spenth months figuring that out

I don't see the difference too. . I find this article really helpful I am sure a lot already using it but would like to share it. I hope this is ok to post it here.

I am very close to buying one of these beauties. There is a 1D mark ii N for sale just down the road from me for about $770 aussie Which is pretty good I think. Then find myself a nifty fifty and shooting I go. Will add a 70-200mm L series as well to the collection. Then that should just about do it for a while I wanna go fast

WOW!!!

Just a quick question, turns out this camera has 210,000 actuations on the shutter. Still get parts to replace this?

Tried this and it still stayed at 19.

Parts are relatively inexpensive (except for the sensor), and Canon still services the Mk IIn. Canon stopped servicing the Mk II last year but there are still camera shops out there that will work on them.

I see what you mean about the sensor but a shutter is 160 odd on ebay... Sensor about 900 woh!!! Not cheap But it is a chance you take every time we buy something second hand. For the price, hard to beat a bit of high end tech in ones hand for a fraction of the price that someone paid for it new So from that point winning. Mind you, gear breaks regardless of age some times It is just one of those things

At the price point this body has now reached, they have essentially become 'disposable' cameras. Sad to have to use those words to describe such a fine piece of engineering, but truthfully, at sub-$400, it's really the truth. I recently bought a third one....so I have these three working examples ( plus a 1DS full frame ), and will simply use them up one by one. As they die off, I'll just set them on the shelf as a paperweight. My hope is that by the time these three ( four ) die off....a 1DX will be inexpensive, so I can grab one of them as a bargain ! Technology marches on.
