The Grey Fat Man and the 40D

I went into Jessops the other day (the wonderful place that it is) to try out some camera bags, and before I left, I couldn't help but ask to hold a 40D. While the salesman was explaining it, he said:

"Combined with the grip, it can do 8fps."

What a load of balls.

(...right?)

sounds like somone is a bit confused between that and the d300

40D is 6.5 max, as most of us know. He's just like every other salesman, it seems. At least they all seem similar to me.

sooo the grip ads 1.5 fps thats a pretty sweet add on !!!

I think it might be a Jessops trait. I remember a while ago someone in the same store (in the pro section) was explaining the wonderful 'magnification' factor of the 1D MkIIN. Later on I went into a smaller branch to hold a 30D and try a Sigma 24-70 and the sales assistant brought me a Nikon-mount copy and couldn't understand why it didn't fit.

I miss the 'mom 'n' pop' shops!

That new grip is more than just flimsy weathersealing, I see.

I think that that's the camera that did the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.
