  1. I picked one up and like it. Turns out the memory card does make a difference when shooting continuous. Using a 20mb/s class 10 UHS-1 card, I got bored holding down the shutter button before it slowed down. I did notice about to "hiccups" where it skipped a beat but then got right back up to 4fps

    Stills in the form of JPEG, RAW and JPEG+RAW and MOV H.264 video are saved to SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards. As for burst rates in continuous shooting mode, you can expect to capture 28 Large JPEGs, 7 RAW or up to 4 Large JPEG+RAW images before filling the camera’s buffer. When shooting to UHS-1 memory cards you can expect to capture up to 1140 JPEGs, 8 RAW or up to 4 JPEG+RAW still images in continuous mode. It’s worth noting that the EOS Rebel SL1 also features a silent shooting mode which, while it slows continuous-shooting frame rates, comes in very handy when shooting in sound-sensitive environments.


  2. Those discounts are generally off the MSRP. Many dealers don't sell at MSRP. Square1 for example sells the Icon pro for 2370 which is $400 below MSRP and the pilot is sold there for $1850, $200 off retail.
    SO i'd talk either directly to them or discuss pricing options with a local dealer.

    Edited for spelling

  3. It's kind of a nice problem to have huh? I'm going to make it a point to try and visit all of them this season. However, my biggest draw will be wherever the fun jumping is happening. There's also that otter... But I can't wait to check out the newest place to the north.

    the rigger had a canopy that was in very bad shape for the number of jumps.

    he is neutral in his opinions for all canopies and always provides non biased views. he's always been helpful and reliable in his advice. im keen on the zpx for the smaller pack volume and it suits my current skill level



    Had to ask.
    I looked at your profile it doesn;t have a location listed. What type of climate do you (and presumably your rigger) jump in? That may have something to do with your rigger's experiences with it.
