Exceed in some cases. 1DmkII is 8.5fps for 40+ shots, D2Hs is 8fps for a similar amount, the D2X/D2Xs do 8fps in 2x crop mode for around 35 RAW's.

Sigma 10-20 is about $200CDN cheaper than their 15-30 for full-frame and about equivalent optically. What digital lacks is a cheap and acceptable 18-35 or 19-35 equivalent, like the Tamron 19-35 or FA J 18-35, which are quite decent lenses for their low cost. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
