Thanks Jana,
The truth is that " the timing question " is redfuced to having set all the correct settings ( speed priority, tripod,) and from the moment you see a movement in the mud start shooting at full speed ( 7D = is very fast 8/sec)and then hoping some of the shots will be sharp enough .

This is cool Alex! Well done! BTW is Canon 7D equivalent to Nikon D3 or? I have no clue except that I know you are using a full frame?

What difference do you see between using a DX and FX cameras?

Alexander Decoster August 22, 2011

Thanks Lyn,
Yes indeed for high speed I use my 7D camera always.

Chung Wah.
I don´t know the Nikon D3.But I have two cameras ; the 7D which I use the most but especially when I go for action, even people. And the Mark5DII .The latter is the full frame. Great for landscapes, city scapes, very wide angle effects, portraits.
The image quality of the Mark5DII is also amazing, not that the 7D is not fine. But I noticed a superior quality.
And they are a back up for each other when I travel. After my last adventure in India... remember when the last day the 7D stopped working... lucky it was the last day last hour....
