60FPS at full res would fill up your card pretty quick.


Moreover, using Pre-shot Burst Mode, (a ultra-high speed continuous shooting mode that captures images from the scene prior to the moment when you actually press the shutter button), users can be confident they will never miss the most crucial photographic moment.


I wonder how that works?

I agree, sounds kinda silly, but it could have some cool applications with a very high shutter speed.

I wonder how that works?

The camera is constantly writing images to some internal buffer. when you press the shutter it writes some group of those images to your card. Industrial camera have been around that would do similar things for a bit - you could set it up to trigger at some malfunction and then view what was happening prior to the malfunction.

It would be could be a cool tool depending on how it's deployed (i.e. is that delay programmable?)
