Oh that first shot is a cracker.... very well captured... you must have to have lightening fast reflexes to shoot this kind of stuff!

Thanks Sue. I don't know about the reflexes, but 9fps helps. Sure wastes a lot of film though.

Nice action shots for sure. Well done.

At 9fps I'd be reloading every 4 secs. I was joking.
I use a D3. One of the issues I found with the D3 was that the shutter is so loud, when they are serving and the whole stadium is silent, the shutter creates quite a racket. I didn't get a warning from the umpire, but got a few dirty looks from a couple players. As professional sports people they need to learn to deal with more than a loud shutter. At the night sessions, some people in the crowd were using flash on their P+S cameras. Now that would be distracting.
