Read/Write Speed: 160/155 MB/s) in the slot and the 7D II captured between 46 and 49 frames in 4.7 seconds (or less) to again match the rated speed but far exceed the rated buffer depth. With this Lexar card installed, two additional frames were captured .1 second apart every .2 seconds for a post-buffer-filled performance of 14 frames in 2.27 seconds or about 5.7 fps. This rate is faster than some cameras shoot with an empty buffer and I'm guessing that this rate continues until the card is filled. Shoot in JPG format and this card and camera combo can shoot at 10 fpd for a very long period of time."<br />DaveBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-63966014144896551422014-11-11T15:46:01.940-08:002014-11-11T15:46:01.940-08:00Jeff,

I shoot many high school games a year and recently added the 7DII to my gear.<br />I generally use the 5DIII and have been happy with noise performance I get, however I wanted the reach with my 300m 2.8 IS II. I noticed that with my 7DII the images are very soft, almost like there is some heavy NR going on in the camera. Could you give me an idea of your settings?<br />Thanks<br />Rob<br />WarriorPrints.comRobhttp://warriorprints.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-68862523984270563152014-11-07T14:49:48.070-08:002014-11-07T14:49:48.070-08:00Thanks for the post Jeff.

Like you, I will be using a 70-200 f/2.8 but also taking the 1.4x just in case I need a little more reach. Thanks again for posting the great images. Hopefully my test run will be equally as successful.Jeff Revellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148903525231359595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-8498951523597809922014-11-03T12:31:07.805-08:002014-11-03T12:31:07.805-08:00These two posts on HS football had me giggling. I ...These two posts on HS football had me giggling. I shoot the cheerleaders for my daughter's team. You think the field is bad for lighting? Try the sidelines between the light poles as far from the opposite lights as possible. :)<br /><br />Like on the field, VR doesn't help freeze action. The kit lenses aren't fast enough. Flash is impossible to balance for a team of cheerleaders spread out over 15 yards without several speedlights set up on radio triggers which school administors aren't in favor of...<br /><br />Jeff, I love your work. I have DEVOURED the Event Space videos. It was wonderful, in a sadistic, evil way, to hear one of the photographers I deeply respect say "DANG! This highschool gig is a different kettle of fish!"<br /><br />On the other hand, it means that the budgetary director (wife) now sees the value of fast glass. I've scored 35mm and 85mm 1.8 primes, an 80-200 2.8 (love the Nikon professional grade lens) and a 17-55 2.8 out of the deal. <br /><br />I have also received epic praise from the mom's that have been trying to take pictures with low end DSLR's, a kit lens and the pop-up flash.... all in part from your excellent advice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385034624383417714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-79758756650807795022014-10-30T16:10:48.757-07:002014-10-30T16:10:48.757-07:00I wish I can take beautiful photos like that...

You set the exposure compensation to -0.7 to keep from blowing out the white uniforms, and set the ISO levels anywhere from 5000 to 16,000. Why did you do this instead of no compensation and lower ISO? Wouldn't that give you the same result with less noise? I shoot a lot of sports so I would really like to understand this.
