Re: What of the Canon 1D MK2n?


Cam, we are looking after your best interests.

*A normally/caringly used camera with 10,000 clicks should have no brassing due to hand rubbing on the body, and there should be hardly any white sweat deposits on the rubber.

* Fire a few shots of a brightly and uniformly lit scene at, say, 1/100 sec and then at 1/1000 to 1/2000 sec. Look for dark or very bright bands on the image. Those bands could be anywhere in the frame, they could even be diagonally placed, and they signify a shutter problem.

* Verify that the camera AF works.

* Verify that it can do high and low frame rate ( 3 and 8 FPS)
--------------------------------------------------------------

I\'ve been using only Canon brand batteries although they are expensive. They seem to be good for 500 + dischgarge/recharge cycles, with a minor capacity degradation. With a new battery and very little lens IS use, I can get close to 2000 frames per battery charge.

Good luck.
