This capability lets you shoot 30 frames per second and "grab" sharp, clear individual frames-to capture just the right instant or analyze action sequences." From the Sept/Oct issue of American Photo. It does it differently because of a progressive scan CCD. Won't that be satisfying. For those who lack all and any anticipation. >>Mark Rabiner ======= I would think a cheap digital camera would be more graceful. It really reveals what people are like at that decisive moment. Some will just start shooting everywhere with eyes closed in a hopeless but successful state of brilliance. Just aim close and fire the whole roll off in that area. That's a bit different than using a roll on one shot while changing one's aperture, etc. It does sound fun though. I wouldn't mind changing between rolls - using an M6 and then get the machine gun scan thing out and then eventually one in each hand.
