There are though, many static situations where that kind of frame rate would work very well. Jay

I'm firmly in the 1D4 camp here ... the 1.3 crop is a useful attribute to me as I shoot motorsport and airshows. Why would I be interested in a FF sensor with 14 fps ... Just doesn't quite fit IMHO ... You're shooting AIR SHOWS and you're asking what use 14fps would be to you? Alan "NuReality" Fronshtein
