1/8000 sec is much, much faster than 1/8000 sec.

I think that PeterN had the frame rate in mind, FPS...

I can live with as low as 5fps Cl, and I am happy to have 11fps for Ch.


The 800 doesn't go to 10 fps.

If you want to get that sort of rate out of a Nikon FF you will have to
buy a D4S or D5.

There are a whole bunch of factors controlling frame rate. With the
D800/D810 Nikons the inhibiting factor is the massive file size.

There is a reason the FF Nikons best suited for high frame rate sport
shooting are the D4S 16MP(10fps) and D5 20MP (11fps). The D800/D810
while having great resolution is limited to 4fps before the buffer just
chokes on those fat NEF files.

The question I have is, just how important is a very high frame rate for you?

I found that where the target is passing through a practical capture,
or composition window, at an airshow, or motorsport event for example a
5 to 11 frame burst is the most that is actually practical. I typically
end up with a usable burst of 5 to 8 frames, and can find a single
frame, or perhaps two to work on.

When I have shot an event such as the triathlon cyclists making a slow
climb towards me up an extremely steep hill, Cl at 4-5fps is just fine,
8-11fps is too much, and just over-kill.
