A digicam can only do a BURST of three, and then has to sit and write it to disk/compact flash...but that's 1/10th the frame rate, and again, isn't continuous... > Do you know much about the sensors in the B&W Kodak cameras.

Absolutely true B&W sensor, which is why it is sooooo much better than an RGB sensor of the same number of sensors, converted to grayscale...
