So I got out today dedicated to just take sequence photos and work with the 8frames per second on the new Canon 7D. It is absolutly amazing i had to end up taking a couple frames out here and there because there were so many, i am amazed more and more everyday with this camera. Check out the photos i got today at PCMR of Max Peters, Tosh Peters, and Adam Battersby. The black and white photo of Max is the full 8fps, 15 frames in this one photo.

check out my photos:

the sigma 10-20mm is amazing for the price. Sucha a great lens i would like to go a liter lower on my apature like 2.8 but other than that it kills it

my compact flash  card is a SanDisk Extreme Compact Flash
60MB/s UDMA 8GB

it was about $175.00

True it would be nice in some lower light situations, but UWAs arent known for their shallow dof so it works for me. But damn, when did you buy that card? They are like half that now at B&H..

Nosteeze
"how is it SO fun??

I dont get it? You ask why I like it then say you use it for everything??

no i was remarking about the fact that it was SO fun, i just put it in question form, like "yes i agree, that lens is amazing, how can it be SO fun when it's just a pretty cheap wide angle"

i love that lens

Oh I know, I only paid $340 for mine, and its love. But then again I have always been feeling wide lenses.

Only thing I dont like is the NASTY sun flares you get with the lens..

those sequence shots are dope. 8 fps is crazy fast, i just started shooting with an eos rebel xsi and my main complaint is that it only shoots 3.5 fps.

my first camera was the rebel XTi400d and yet 3 fps is slow it definitly was still a quality camera and got the job done for me
