In all the comparisons I watched (3) the mirror up bounce was pretty well controlled, with a fairly long pause prior to the shutter activation. It's the return that is much less controlled on most of them. Then another really long pause before the cycle begins again. And as was said, to

Interesting comparison if you look at the similar clips of a F5 or D3 - in the K10D the mirror wobbles all over the place until it finally settles whereas the Nikons stop and dampen it very effectively. Lots of time to gained there... Cheers Ecke 2010/8/19 David Parsons parsons.da...@gmail.com:

The Canon 5D mirror bounces around as much as the K10D one does; the Nikons do seem better at damping. Very interesting to watch. Rick http://photo.net/photos/RickW --- On Wed, 8/18/10, eckinator eckina...@gmail.com wrote: Interesting comparison if you look at the similar clips of a F5 or
