[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 3009, member: 654"] IMHO, and everyone will have there own take on this. Whether or not 6.5 fps or 4.5 fps will make a difference will depend on how fast is the action you are trying to capture. Shooting Whales is not that fast and the "L" (low) setting on fps was fast enough. However if I was shooting a race car going 180 mph slamming into a wall and exploding into a thousand pieces in less than a second that extra speed might make the difference between getting a great shot or not. But too many beginners think a fast fps will capture that great action shot for them. Not so. If the photographer didn't correctly anticipate the moment that race car would hit the wall and press the release button right at that moment the only thing a fast fps would give him is a lot of pictures of car parts all over the track. Action photographers have to develop the skill of anticipating the exact moment to press the button. Otherwise the only thing a fast fps will give you is a lot of pictures of the aftermath (or the south end of a north bound horse). So where does barrel racing fall on the need for speed scale? Probably it's right there along with football, basketball, and baseball. An extra two frames per second would be nice and give you an extra two pictures per second to chose from but 4.5 fps will be plenty fast enough. A good inexpensive lens to get right now would be a f/1.8, 50mm or 35mm prime to learn low light shooting. Low light shooting is an important skill to have. You will often run into low light conditions and knowing how to handle it will make the difference in getting good exposures while everyone else are left wondering why their pictures aren't coming out very good.
