Hello all,
while waiting for the final few pennies to accumulate before I buy a 20D, I'm still reading reviews from all sorts of users. I read a rather worrying one from a professional wildlife photographer the other day and was wondering if any of you who already have your hands on the mythical beast can confirm or deny what has been said.
Admittedly he only had the camera over a couple of days but made a comment that the camera always shot at 5fps when set on the continuous mode. Have any of you experienced that or does it automatically adjust depending on the available light. I realise that having not used the camera I'm at a disadvantage when asking questions like that but if for any reason I want to make use of this frame rate in poor light, does it auto-adjust so it can still shoot as 5fps (and under expose images as necessary) or is it intelligent and will only shoot at say 2, 3, or 4 depending on the prevailing conditions?
Sorry to ask what may be seen as a daft question but that's one feature of it which is quite important to me and a reason I've held on for it rather than go for the lesser fps rate of the 10D.
Many thanks in advance of any replies.
