Hi All,
I've just taken delivery of a new 40D and immediately wanted to test its 6.5fps burst speed. Disappointingly, it's nowhere near 6.5fps. Worried, I looked up videos of 40D shutter speeds so I could compare. It's noticeably slower than those in any of the videos, e.g. the below:

I'm trying to diagnose the problem. I'm using a high shutter speed (1/800), high-speed continuous shooting drive and a (two year old) 4GB Sandisk Extreme III card.
Could it be the CF card? The burst from the camera is also slightly irregular. Not sure what this indicates. Any ideas?
Thanks all.
