Interesting note in the latest issue of C't (German
computermagazine):
The 1D mark-III could very well be made to go beyond 10fps, but Canon
decided not to implement/allow that, because the more than 10fps
classifies as motion-picture, and on many events the fee for shooting
is much higher for motion picture than for still photographers....:((
There you have it, technology crippled by moronic regulations.
And there goes our dream of a pellicle-mirror DSLR at twice that
speed....
Anyone seen this argument before?
I expect the global community to produce a software patch within a
month (I am mild today).
PS: my favorite way to look at this frame-rate is not frames-per-
second, but second-per-frame, allowing faster/limited short bursts as
well, in the context of bracketing (exposure, shutterspeed vs
aperture, flash-exposure, focus or even filmspeed).
