Nikon D700 Frame Rate Video
Imaging Resource was kind enough to post the following video of the Nikon D700 demonstrating both its standard 5 FPS frame rate and the high speed 8 FPS frame rate with the MB-D10 attached.

Photograview Interviews Thomas Hawk
Photograview is a site that focuses on interviewing great photographers and this week, they caught up with Thomas Hawk. Thomas is a prolific photographer — his Flickr account boasts just over 14,000 beautifully executed shots. He’s also the CEO of Zooomr, a good alternative for photo hosting.
What truly intrigued me about the interview, though, is the equipment Thomas uses:
Currently I own two digital camera bodies, a Canon EOS 5D and a Canon EOS 10D. I also own 5 Canon L Series lenses, the 135 f/2 (my favorite lens), the 24 f/1.4, the 14 f/2.8, the 50 f/1.2 and the 70-200 f/4. In addition to these lenses I own the Canon EF100 macro. I also own various accessories to go with this Canon setup, Speedlite, batteries, CF cards, card readers, tripods, etc.
When it comes to digital photography, I have to agree with Thomas’ buying habits. Canons are good cameras. Now to work on getting the same quality of image out of my photos as he gets out of his.
