The Digital Journalist has published an article by sports photographer David Drapkin which offers a brief insight into the handling of the Canon EOS1-D Mark II DSLR:

“I couldn’t have been happier with the results. The new maximum frames per second(FPS) rate is 8.5fps. And because they nearly doubled the amount of full res JPEGs that you can get in a burst, It seems like the camera is faster than my old film based EOS1V. And while I personally would never need 40 full res jpegs, level 8 or 20 raw or full res maximum frames in a burst, I sleep better at night knowing that they are there.”
