[QUOTE="LensWork, post: 7283, member: 1283"] No, not necessarily. While having a higher frame-per-second rate when shooting sports can be beneficial, it will not guarantee capturing that peak moment. Consider a race car moving at 200mph; in one second the car will travel 293 feet. At five frames-per-second, the car will travel ~59 feet between each frame. A lot can happen in 59 feet. Or consider trying to capture the instant that the ball leaves a pitcher's hand, or the moment that a golf ball leaves the face of the club. Even 10 frames-per-second will not guarantee the shot. Timing, anticipation and hand-eye coordination are still the photographer's best assets to capturing sports. Consider the shot below: [ATTACH]644._xfImport[/ATTACH] [IMG]http://www.flickr.com/photos/52493362@N03/5104382416/[/IMG]Camera: Nikon FM with MD-12 (3.5 fps) Lens: Nikon 105mm f/2.5 Manual focus, manual exposure, first frame of the burst. If I had started shooting when the players began to jump for the ball, even if the MD-12 was capable of a much higher frame rate, it is very doubtful that I would have captured the image with all four hands on the ball and all four feet off the turf. Well put! [IMG]http://flic.kr/p/8M4i4o[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
