I think the majority of my shooting will be from close up, but I haven't done much snowboarding photography before, so we'll see how it actually works out... considering the type of riding we do, I imagine most of the shots will be a laying on the ground shooting overhead/down the mountain sorta thing.

Yeah, I read about the kyocera's burst (3.3 fps), which is what made me interested. As you can probably imagine, I'd like something that works, but these just cannot be profesional-grade photo's on my budget.
