Three camera setup for Mark McGwire home run

[Recty]

I remember seeing a video of three SLRs (Canon, not sure what body though) set up in sync to take 8 FPS each at timed intervals that basically outputted 24 frames a second of high resolution pictures that could then be turned into video. They used it for Mark McGwire's record breaking home run...

Does anyone have a link to that video? I was trying to show someone here at work the video and I cant find it anywhere.

That's funny I was JUST watching that video the other day trying to find a clip of the Canon 7D 8fps shutter going off. That's pretty crazy!

It's better experienced first hand.

I'm going to need some bigger memory cards.

I ordered a 32GB CF when I ordered my lens, I figure it kills two birds with one stone.

It lets me take a lot of pictures on my upcoming vacation without having to change cards and then two, if/when I get a 7D, I'll have lots of space for fast FPS/video too.

Yay I'm getting a camera soon!!

Cool Are you getting the 5D MK II you wanted?

 

[TitusvileSurfer]

I'm not sure, might get a 7D, might get a 5DmkII, might get an older 1D
I'll shop around and take my time but my tuition is paid and I will defiantly be getting an SLR in the foreseeable future!

I'm having a hard time deciding between the 7D and the 5DMKII atm as well...

I went ahead and just bought a good zoom lens and I'm still waiting to make a decision on the body

Before I wanted the 5DmkII because I already had a capable crop body in the 40D. I don't have any DSLR at all now and I shoot so much sports and nature, I don't know that I want a full frame anymore. Full frame is superior to a 1.6x crop factor in many applications. Then again 1.6x crop is superior to full frame in many applications. I wanted both but if only 1 can be chosen, I may stick with the crop. Heck I'd take a Canon D30 if it means I can go out and shoot again.
