Sorry, while these maximum frame rate numbers are correct, the burst length numbers are wrong. The Kodak web site lists the burst rate of the DCS14 as 1.7 fps for approximately 8 frames. The Canon web site lists the 1DS as 3 fps for 10 frames. You can download the DCCS14 manual in PDF from Kodak's web site. BTW, I don't remember if it's been mentioned here, but some early reviews claimed the 1Ds suffered from chromatic aberration at the edges of ultra-wide images, and there was speculation that this had something to do with the sensor size and angle of incidence issues. My own quick tests suggest (and Thomas Knoll, who's done more extensive tests, agrees) that there is no such effect -- it's just showing the typical aberations of ultra-wide lenses by capturing more detail further out in the image circle than previous digitals. I saw the same level of aberations on film in comparisons using the same 17-35 zoom.
