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. -- Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amr3 at uwm.edu http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/ "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
