Canon G9 - your thoughts

Full frame for me too. Just need to able to afford it.
 
To be serious, I've only tried continuous shooting once for kicks - I have no real use for it. It is quite stunning when I do bracketing and the 40D takes three shots in RAW and is ready for the next shot quicker than my Cybershot can handle one picture... :)

Anybody waiting in anticipation for the 5D successor? :)

Yeah - but only cos it means the 5D will be cheaper. :)

I figure $1000 for the 40D vs $2000 for the 5D . . . I'll just have to save a little longer and hone my skills in the meantime.

Canon's bracketing is a bit lame compared to (iirc) Nikons. 3 frames? blah.

True. They're all getting cheaper though - I can now pick up the 40D body for about £100 less than in January :eek:

It's a bit lame compare to just about everyone else. Even the lowly Pentax K100D Super does better.

How do you expose lightning? When I was in JHB I unfortunately didn't have my tripod with me - I wanted to do a long exposure. Shooting handheld (leaned against the door frame) I could not get anything half decent, not even at ISO3200
