Is there a way to set the FPS on a 1D Mark II to exactly 5 frames per
second?  I'd like to test how that actually works shooting the
subjects I usually shoot (horses, athletics) at a high FPS rate before
renting or buying a body (such as the 30D) that maxes at 5 FPS.  I
usually shoot at 8 FPS (fast FPS rate) on my 1D Mark II.  

Is there a chart anywhere that shows the max FPS rate (aka Burst or
Continuous Shooting mode) of all of Canon's pro and prosumer SLR
digicams on one page?  Trying to dig this information out of various
reviews is a bit painstaking and it sure would help if there was a
site that made it easier to find.  A bonus would be if it also showed
the incremental rates each camera could be set at.

Thanks!

I trust you've messed with the settings, even read the fine manual?

LOL!  Old Dill RTFM?  You've got to be kidding me!  Dill's another prime
example of a person having a tool without the skills to use it.
