Yes realise 5D3 is an option.....I do equestrian mainly...show jumping and cross country. At present I use a 7D and find the shutter rate fine...I usually only take 2 consecutive shots per jump and usually one of these will be a keeper. 7D is fine for outdoors but not good for the winter...

Update. Camera shop throw some doubt on accuracy of EOScount and are not prepared to make any concessions apart from increasing guarantee from 3 to 6 months. If shutter fails after guarantee expires will cost me £500 inv VAT (new shutter box also required for a camera with 400,000...

I have been in discussion with the vendor and they understand the issue. They are going to establish whether the camera has had a new shutter fitted recently. If not they are going to get a price for replacement shutter and then we decide whether I return the camera to them for a full refund or...

Possibly...or time lapse? That would eat up the clicks.

Tried that...same result 400,000 shutter clicks. Very strange as the camera looks as if it has had very little use!

I don't seem to have that option....Sensor cleaning is above Firmware Version

Where do I find System Status Display?

I have bought a 1d mkiv at the that looks absolutely mint.....no marks scratches at all. The camera does not look used at all. However, when connected to EOSCount I get a shutter count of almost 400,000. I know the shutter is rated for 300,000 so this would indicate that the shutter is likely...

Do a search on Google....there are numerous cases of this happening.....seems like you have to have the barrell replaced if you want a new red band at some cost.

I would have thought that a good 70-200mm would do the trick. The safari drivers can get you quite close to the animals.

Yet another happy customer of Panamoz. Ordered Friday, delivered Wednesday. Canon 24-70 F2.8L mkii......sharp!

Really I don't think you will need stabilization if you intend to take photos of moving subjects where you will be using shutter speeds in excess of 1/250s You could be considering a Canon 70-200 F2.8L (non IS but a good 2nd hand one will set you back £700-£800). The mki you used introduces...

I've bought a camera and a lens from them no problems. Had a warranty issue with the lens and this was sorted out very rapidly so after-sales service good too.

do you mean HDEW?

2nd vote for Duracell. I have been using two of these for my 50d (same battery as 40d) for some while and they have been just as good as the original Canon so far.
