NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOUR CAMERA IS IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO CAPTURE GOOD MOMENTS AND ANGLES, YOUR CAMERA WOULD BE NOTHING EVEN IF IT'S THE TOP OF THE LINE. THE GADGET DOESN’T MATTER. 5D2 OR 7D.

My 2 sons, film graduates, just finished working on a full feature film. The DP/Cinematographer used the Red (credits on IronMan 2 & many others), and the Director was shooting on his 5D Mark 2 for using in post pro/editing. SAG actors, Bob Shelley's Special Effects (The Notebook & more). This was a full feature, real deal, w/ amicable credits amongst all key crew with actors flown in from NY. It is indeed "grossly underestimated" just what these camera's can do! A previous comment read, "It's not the arrow, it's the indian". @ John, I just had to underscore your point with the following fact.

I'm in the same boat. $ not really a factor, but would love to get the best for the buck. I like to shoot in low light without flash but would also like to get great tennis action or golf shots, which I haven't been able to with 450d. Current lens 50mm 1.8 & 24-105L. With the 7d, would give me a good 2 yrs to learn n experiment, and when I get better, 5dm3? Or miss out 2 yrs worth of magical pictures? Just like the thousands out there.. I’m in the same boat.

I SHOOT FOOTBALL, LACROSSE, WRESTLING etc. I also do Senior Portraits and small stuff on the side to pay for my hobby. But FRANKLY....I DON'T WANT a frick'in Video Recorder on my camera! I just want a CAMERA. you know the old saying...."the more Bells & Whistles...the more likely that something will break" All I care about is talking photos. I will never use the damn video recorder. That's what our Video guy is for up in the Press Booth. But the reason I am getting this is because it's affordable and takes 8 FPS along with taking wayyyyyyyyyyyy better photos at night games then what I am using now. Hey ANYTHING is a better upgrade from my old Canon Rebel XTI...believe it or not.....I have made ALOT OF MONEY with that old Camera. So no matter what camera you use as a semi-professional or novice photographer I,e Rebel series, Canon 7D or the Mark 5 D....your be happy with your photos. Thanks Erik for giving me an idea for my new email address...MOTION SHOOTER! take care all!

The ability to shoot rapid stills requires (at least in the current world of SLRs) that the camera flip the mirror (which is used to send the image to the viewfinder) up and down rapidly as well as resetting the mechanics of the shutter. And it is this speed which determines the number of still frames per second that the camera can take. The shutter speed setting and the lenses have nothing to do with it. It is all about the mechanics inside the camera and how fast it can flip the mirror and reset the inner workings of the shutter. That’s a good question!

Something I haven't wrapped my head around yet!! I like to shoot surf photography...investing in either the 5DMII or 7D but I want the speed for shots.....????

We'll post a thorough article about TESTING the 5D Mark II when you get it for the FIRST TIME (also very useful for any other DSLR camera with and without Movie/Video capabilities) Cheers.

You might find it helpful for your case: http://5dmark2.wordpress.com/2010/05/03/list-of-lenses-affected/ When using a variable aperture zoom, if you zoom in or out in video mode (in "Full Manual Control" mode), the camera will change the iris to keep the aperture value set by the user. When this occur, it's very likely to happen a lag/dropped frame on the footage. That's "another" advantage of constant aperture zooms over variable aperture zooms. Check the below post, especially the “Update 3″ telling about “variable aperture” zooms.
