If you are a serious photographer, then the Canon EOS 40D could be the perfect camera for you. It features a blazing fast 6.5 fps burst mode. Check out our review!
Snip:
"To get the feel of the camera, I started in Auto with resolution set to JPEG fine (3888x2592 pixels). Even though the 40D is capable of 6.5 frames per second the camera was in single shot mode. No need to set the device to rapid fire—yet. This mid-range D-SLR felt extremely comfortable even though it’s rather hefty. I did some shooting indoors and out for a time. The AF response was excellent with little hunting for tack sharp images. But like the alcoholic Ray Milland in the “The Lost Weekend,” the camera’s 6.5 frame-per-second burst mode was beckoning me like a bottle of Fleischman’s rye whiskey (who said Raymond Chandler was dead?). Enough with the metaphors—I couldn’t wait to put the 40D into full burst mode. When I did the response was amazing. Standard 3 fps second D-SLRs are much more responsive than any point-and-shoot digicam. The 40D is amazing as it blitzes through JPEGs and even huge RAW+JPEG files. People, you have to try this one out in the local store. If you plan to shoot any sort of sports or just want to capture a fleeting change of expression on your child’s face, the 40D will capture it for you."
