USEFUL IN SPORTS AND SCIENCE BURST MODE CONTINUOUS SHOOTING DIGITAL CAMERAS FUJI S8100FD VS CASIO EX F1 VS CASIO EX FH20 PART ONE

---

Is the Casio Ex FH20 the answer to my prayers? Or could it be the Fuji S8100fd or maybe the Casio Ex F1? High speed rapid succession pictures have been used in the study of medicine and science. I have been looking for a digital camera that can shoot many pictures in rapid succession, so called continuous shooting burst mode because sports and science have speed in common. My Sony DSC H5 takes nice pictures and maybe can take 4 or 5 burst mode shots in relatively high resolution. But it's a pretty slow "burst". You can drop down the resolution and get more. The picture here is from one of the most famous examples of rapid burst mode photography in history.





Per Wikipedia "In 1872, former Governor of California Leland Stanford, a businessman and race-horse owner, had taken a position on a popularly-debated question of the day: whether all four of a horse's hooves left the ground at the same time during a gallop. Stanford sided with this assertion, called "unsupported transit", and took it upon himself to prove it scientifically". He turned to Eadweard Muybridge to answer that question. What's called burst mode or continuous shooting is the ability of cameras to take many shots rapidly. Soccer action, for example, when the player kicks the ball and scores a goal or say you are taking golf lessons and the instructor wants to analyze your swing.








Film cameras have been shooting rapid sequence shots for ages but digital cameras especially the consumer Non dSLR versions have had an uphill climb to introduce burst mode continuous shooting. So I have been looking at three models of digital camera which answer the burst mode problem. The Casio Ex F1 was a super powerful digital camera that could take an amazing 60 shots a second! (that's no typo) The Ex F1 was a 6 megapixel digital camera that retailed in the thousand dollar range. I say was because it seems that Casio has decided to offer a newer competitor in the burst mode race, the Casio EX FH20 which shoots 40 frames a second and is over 9 megapixels.
