I have an EN-EL3 for my D700 and it shows 8fps in the menu. If I use the battery tray for AA batteries no matter what type I use I never get more than 7, and after a few minutes the power drops of HUGE!!!!!!!
In the old days one could "overclock" film cameras by increasing the voltage/current to the motor drive sometimes, but that is not so with digital. The sensor and image processing have specific design limits.
trying to learn nikon and you should know learning never came easy to me.
so please . . .
i hear people talking the D700 can do 8 fps but when i put the md-10 grip on the body the menu says i can adjust the fps from like 2-7. no 8
am i missing something?
grant
That adjustment setting is for the CL mode to set what fps you want in CL. CH mode is for 8fps with the grip and AA batteries or the battery from the D3 can be used.

So 8fps is also possible using rechargeable AA batteries? and not just the EN-EL4 and EN-EL4a?
i used 8 rechargeable batteries (2500 mhs) and it worked. but. . . for some reason the battery pack didn't stay connected in camera and it would go back to 5 fps. frustrating.
