[QUOTE="zbrandt, post: 181311, member: 15808"] Thank You! That's the answer I was looking for. Now I understand the difference, mechanical and electronic. I understand very well about out of sync banding, like pointing my camera at a older CRT tv without being in sync to 60Hz. Some of my photographs will require using a higher shutter speed above 1/1500 and right up to 1/4000 with a flash. The D3200 will only do 1/200 and that's it, no matter what I use for a flash. I've tried, and all I got was a blurry mess of motion. It's not because I don't know how to set up and use my camera for this particular kind of photography. I was pissed because it seemed more like a ridiculous limitation, I mean why even bother with having a 1/4000 setting if it's basically useless. I was doing this kind of photography for years with P&S cameras that were far less expensive. Then I go to DSLR and even on the low end entry level kit still being a few hundred dollars more than my best P&S, suddenly I can no longer do the high speed stuff that I've always been able to do. But I guess it's like cable channel packages, you get 50 channels you never watch but still have to pay for them anyway.
