i dont get why people want more FPS than like 10 in a camera. Does it not get to a point where your simply holding a video camera, if it shoots at like 50fps.
I don't want >10 fps. It's the idea that you can shoot x fps but only for maybe 1-2 seconds before the camera slows down and it's more sporadic. I want more endurance.
Surprised you didn't mention the ability to take extended exposures (beyond an hour) without either the sensor or the photo going totally crap.
(If you were referring to being surprised that I didn't say this ...) it's because this is more a function of ambient light causing saturation and the sensor noise. I addressed this in my points (b) where I want lower sensor noise for any given ISO, and (d) where I want more dynamic range so that you don't reach saturation so soon (among other things). Otherwise, for things like star trails, you're limited a lot by the brightness of the sky (clouds, city lights, etc.) that will saturate your sensor rather than actual inefficiencies with the sensor.
