Gary Eickmeier Sure, but the camera has to scan it's sensor into memory at least as fast!

Gary Eickmeier Sure, but the camera has to scan it's sensor into memory at least as fast! Hummingbird is fast, about 50 - 80 beats a second. Many P&S can manage at least 1/1000 of a second shutter so what're you talking about? It's just a test of person's skill, long lens and external flash (if needed) of SLR over compact cameras.

He is thinking that the camera has to scan in the info from the CCD just as fast as the flash duration, but I don't think that is right. Gary Eickmeier

Many P&S can manage at least 1/1000 of a second shutter so what're you talking about? thinking aloud... at 80 bps amd 60mm motion, that is almost 5,000 mm per second. 1/1000 flash will give about 5mm motion during the exposure. focal plane shuters can not do it. hummers take about 1/50,000 flash to really freeze their wingtips.

Alright, maybe 1/1000 is a bit slow. The D70 can do 1/8000 or 1/500 with flash at best, so your 1/50,000 figure is a bit off.
