Can I get high speed from this camera? What is the rated fps?

I'm not sure but I no longer need mine and can sell it to you at a great price. Glennjulyan@directorofis.com

From what I have read.. there is a 10 and a 2 frame per second option. The guide also mentions a 5fps option but it may only be compatible with a particular shooting mode or other setting.

No, it's reaction speed is not very good for pictures of moving objects. It will give you good HD videos though, although the zoom control is not available in video.

I am assuming the camcorder uses the SD memory card. If you look the data speed on the memory card it should work OK with 22-24 fps. Not sure how it works up to 30 fps, but with the data transfer rates should work.

cant give ya a frames per second but slow off the go when ya start it up if you want to make a fast shot,but I still love this camera,took a trip to alaska and the 26X zoom was super and using the AA batteries a plus,nice grip for us arthritic types,jack

The SanDisk Extreme III is an excellent choice for this camera, and will allow you to take full advantage of the high speed. The best price I've seen anywhere for it is actually right here on Amazon.com, and includes free shipping. Don't skimp on the memory card. You can get by with 1 or 2 Gb, but don't buy a slow (i.e., cheap) memory card, or you will defeat some of the best features of this camera.

That is the problem...you can't do rapid frames. The camera looks great, feels great to hold, but if you need something to capture a fast paced activity, this isn't the one for you. I like it and recommend it for a very casual user, however will be upgrading to a more advanced piece of equipment as soon as my budget allows.

If you don't need the absolutely highest resolution, you can record video, and in the playback screen, you have the option of converting the exact moments of the video into still pictures. The capture rate shooting video would be faster than any burst mode in picture mode, so you'd probably get the moment you're looking for even with a really high speed baby.

YES! It has several different high speed recording settings: 240fps, 480fps, and 1000fps. There is also a mode where the user can switch back and forth between 30fps and 240fps. This is my favorite setting because you can show normal motion then switch to slow motion in the same movie. The picture quality is excellent. The rest of the camera functions work well too.

Yes it does 1000fps but the resolution is lowest at this setting. Probably you would call this a scientific analysis setting. Generally 250fps is the slowest I go as I get reasonable resolution with object movement smooth and graceful without taking too long to view. This and 120 and 250 is for more artistic type videoing. Excellent Camera. Stills and Video

Hmmm... i it wont really bogg your shooting experience, my G10 is really fast writing the files to the SD card. Actually i think this camera is not intended for shooting sports or high speed moving subjects. On the other hand i have a nikon, not the P7000 but a D90 and thats another story... i have already taken like 75 consecutive raws before the buffer slowed down... but here we are talking about a DSLR. My best sugestion would be not to worry to much about this aspect, i think the P7000 will handle raws just like a G11 or G12. Check the specs for all your options: burst speed (frames per second), image size in MBytes for raw files, buffer size (this is how much space in MBytes the internal memory of the camera can handle before it has to be written to the sd card), make some calculations and that will tell you how fast or slow each will be. The best advice i can give you... its more important to get the best SD card you can afford, there are high speed cards that will handle any situation and wont let your camera slow down. I have Sandisks extreme edition with 30MB/second write speed... wich means it can handle 6 frames per second at 5MBytes each frame (for example)... its like the top speed of your car... and trust me, no Gseries nor the P700 can take 5 frames per second. Check the specs for the write speed of your choices, get the best cards you can afford and that will help you more than any comments. Good luck

Depends on what you need. 45mb/s works well for just portraits. And even fine for speed as long as you shoot in jpeg. But I was shooting fast in RAW on full frame and 45 was not doing it for me. But if it says 45 then it is. But if you have no problems no need to upgrade

Be sure to check two things:1. What is the continuous shooting rate AT FULL RESOLUTION. A lot of the numbers for fast burst are for very low res pix.2. How many frames can you shoot AT FULL RESOLUTION. I once tried out a camera that shot 11 fps--but could only capture 7 frames before pausing to write to memory!In general, CCD sensor will take longer to process. But a Class 10 memory card will help.

i do not know if that is the highest but get the sandisk extreme 45mb/s the high speed realy works well with this camera

The high speed (slow-mo) is cool, but it's lower-resolution than full HD. See this link to a video I mad with this camera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xi-72avWLY. All the exterior shots and slow-motion shots were made with this camera. I believe the latest update to this camera from Panasonic (the FZ200) has full resolution high-speed video, but I'm not sure.

Not sure officially but it's fast! Really need to use the beat fastest memory card u can get to make sure pix are saved fast....the card makes a big difference

Hi, that is interesting and is misleading for sports or nature photographers like myself. I did buy it for the noted mb speed on the label as I need speed on my shoots, and it bothers me that elsewhere it is stated as being slower than what I am being lead to believe, and need. I don't think though that that would restrict video taping as I also use as spares ScanDisk 45MBs cards which were the fastest at one time, but they take video with no issues. One must also take in the frames per second and pixel size of the movie. High speed cards can handle hi def to low definition. The first thing I did was change the movie mode to one of the lowest standard on all cameras that can take videos, and it still didn't work.i also have Lexar cards. They have issues when taking too many pictures such as action shots in sports, but are fine for video and general picture taking. I tested it when I got home and it had no issues videoing, along with the older 45mbs cards and still couldn't figure out why the PNY wouldn't take videos. Thank you. Rob
