Hello,
I am working on an experiment and I need to use a digital camera to take some images of extrusion of a plastic. I would like to get the camera to take sequential pictures. Any idea if I can do these with off the shelf cheap cameras? Typically, point and shoot cameras will only take 3-10 shots in a single burst. You'll need a dSLR if you want a lot of shots.
Most of the cheaper dSLRs will shoot at 3 frames a second. Nikon has a better buffer which will allow you to take more photos in a single burst. The Canon XTi will let you take around 30-40 in a single burst. The 30D has 5 frames/second and can take around 144 shots in a burst. look in your instruction maneual |
