================================================================
A motor wouldn't necessarily capture the ideal moment.  Even in a burst, the
shutter is closed for more time than it's open.  The peak action still
could be
between frames.  I always liked the fast shutter response of Leica M's (17
milliseconds, I believe), and they were my preferred cameras for dance
photography.
