went to a cross country race. high schoolers about 200 miles from my house
one second delay / lag would not let me take pics of the runners as they were crossing the finish line.
with one second delay, i wud miss at least 5 runners as they crossed the finish line cause they were running their hearts off.
to test your camera for lag time ie to see if u like it
do this
1. go to a car race, track meet, basketball game. not a baseball game.too slow.
2. try to take pics of events one after the other..ie when the basketball is shot up, as the basketball is going up, and when it hits the rim.
3. you will find that some cameras are too slow, ie if more than 1/10 of a second..then too slow
