ANOTHER nail in mirrored camera coffin-from Nikon!

You may reference the tests done for CHDK's motion-detection option where
the camera will detect the stepped-leader lightning flash (the pre-strike
ionization discharge) so as to be able to open the shutter in time to
capture the actual lightning bolt. These cameras' shutter-response times
are literally faster than lightning -- 100% proved.


Hardly. The stepped leader phase of a lightning bolt (which is
what you claim is being detected) can last a whole second or
more. You don't need to be lightning fast to act upon detection
of those.

You don't need any sort of detection system, I have taken shots of lightning
by simply opening the shutter and point the camera in the right direction.

That is how I always thought it was done. It's how I would do
it if we ever got any decent lightning here.

Living in the least lightning prone zone in the uk after
spending 6 years as a kid in Germany is probably why I'm so
fascinated by it.

Yo! Pretend-photographer-troll! This wasn't about you keeping your
imaginary shutter open for several minutes trying to capture a lightning
strike, as ALL lightning photography has always been done with D/SLR gear.
It was all about disproving the DSLR-Troll's misinformation about EVF lag
in EVF cameras. The P&S CHDK cameras' 59fps EVF refresh rate and 23ms or
less shutter speed clearly disproving all of your DSLR-Trolls crap.

Catch up!

Can't you ****ing trolls ever do more than post misinformed and ignorant
red-herring distractions from reality and facts?

Nope!

That's why you are trolls.
