I recorded the mirror sound in an audio program and analysed the time between the mirror ups - 8 frames per second, about 1,12 seconds for 9 frames. Hi,

I tried but couldn't feel the difference. Thank you! Do you think it also works for the D200? I tried but couldn’t feel the difference. Thank you!

Maybe because one can't do much damage firing 9 shots at a time... If it was an real engineering issue, why didn’t they make the bracketing burst at 6fps?

Or there could be real engineering issues involved that make running the camera at this speed, with that power source, detrimental to your health or the proper functioning of the camera or battery (and thus my warning). Having a bit of science and engineering in my background I'm reluctant to be 100% cynical about such things. Could be.

I tried it and it works exactly as you described. It fires noticeably faster than 6fps, just can't tell if it's at 8fps. I read somewhere that the EN-EL3E didn't have the juice to drive the shutter at 8fps. This experiment proves that it does. So the question becomes: why did Nikon limit it to 6fps? Is that a ploy to make people buy the grip? Thanks for the tip. I tried it and it works exactly as you described. It fires noticeably faster than 6fps, just can’t tell if it’s at 8fps.
