Just before the snow hit hard Friday the big brown truck showed up with my new camera, a Canon 40D. It is used by a lot of wedding photographers

Yes I know I'm a geek. But man I am loving this camera. It is so fast. And the photos are phenomenal. Here are a few I've shot this weekend.....

Nice!!!!!.  What is it 10 mega pixel?  One geek to another.  And do you take your photo's in RAW or JPEG?

Nice pictures indeed. I like them all, but that faucet really catched your eye when you look at it. Oh no! If he decides to shoot in the raw, I'm not singing "I'm too sexy" again  Laughing

Thank you Elf.

And for Raph, this thing will shoot 6.5 frames per second 14 bit raw files. And the auto focus system is like lightening.

SAWEEEEEET!  In low lighting, can the flash keep up with multiple frames?  That's my biggest issue with my Nikon.  I can't set it for multiple frames in a dark environment.  Unless I'm missing something.

Not sure as I don't have the 580EX flash would probably be the one needed for that. But another issue with flash speed is the refresh rate. If using regular batteries then I doubt even the 580 can keep up. But using a dedicated power pack that attaches to your belt, the refresh rate is instantaneous. This is what all good wedding photographers use. Something like this battery pack and charging system.......
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/407566-REG/Sunpak_TR2000_TR_2000_Battery_Pack_with.html

But I mainly shoot prime lenses with 1.8 or 1.4 apertures. So I don't use a flash often. Iso 1000 and f2.0 or better for people shots. I like to retain the atmosphere the shot was taken in if at all possible. But that is my personal preference.
