|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Canon Flash Synch Will Powers, Photographer Phoenix | AZ | USA | Posted: 4:13 PM on 07.05.05 ->> I don't want to hijack the thread on shutter actuations. The 550 EX has a high speed synch so you can actually use it much faster. The 1d does synch with other flashes at 250 and the Mark II synchs at 200. On camera synch though is potentially 1/8000.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Canon has never made a flagship camera (1 series) with anything less than 1/250 for a flash synch speed, (at least since they started the eos line). My eos 1, 1N, and my old MkII all had synch speeds of 1/250, and then there's the high speed with 550's and 580's. If I remember correctly, the original 1d had a synch of 1/500 (the last CCD Digi SLR they made). If you search the MB's for original mkII threads, it was mentioned quite a bit. here's the 1D: http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ModelTechSpecsSupportAct&fc... and here's the 1D MkII: http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ModelTechSpecsSupportAct&fc...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Sorry if I came off as being rude.. didn't intend to...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Since then, it appears they have changed which I'm glad to see. Perhaps the early literature was wrong, but thanks for the correction. I wonder if it was a firmware update?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Alot of people were bummed about the change from 1/500, to 1/250..... You may have read something that was unofficial, or who knows?? I got rid of all of my 550 flashes, when I found out the 580's were to include a pc terminal. They changed the specs on that between the time they put out the materials for PMA and when they released the flashes a couple months later. Boy was I pissed! I'm gonna check to see if CPS will/ or is capable of installling the pc terminals... Even the flash website they built promo'ing the 580 displayed it, and it never got included in the final product. SO stranger things have happened. I checked out the camera at PMA in Vegas last year. One of the techs there told me that part of the change had to do with going from CCD sensors to the CMOS. Otherwise they would have left it at 1/500.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
