I'd be happy if they would just do some sort of binning where they
added/averaged two or four pixels together, and gave me a lower
resolution mode that could keep up with the action. There may be
photographers that can photograph a swing jam where people are dancing
and showing off to 200 BPM music for 5-20 seconds each, trying to catch
a couple shots of each of the tricks the couples perform, and not run
out of buffer a third of the way through the song, but I'm not a good
enough psychic to know which of the things they do are going to be the
good shot soon enough before it happens to only take one keeper shot of
each couple and not overflow the buffer.
Part of that problem is probably the limitations of SD card transfer
speed. Or, maybe it's the bus speed in the camera, I don't know what the
bandwidth is, whether it can actually saturate the 80MbPS of my cards.
I don't always need 36MP, but I often need to shoot a lot more action
without my camera freezing up. It's an amazing landscape camera,
unfortunately dancers don't tend to move at geological speeds.
