going from shot to shot quickly shouldnt be a problem because of most high buffers in DSLRs and the fact that many of them can both read and write at the same time.
my serious concentration: i will be taking pictures mostly of nature (flowers, woodlands, mountains, sky, the sun, etc). obviously, i will also use it for random applications as well such as maybe family pictures & picnics, but for the most part I am looking at pictures of nature.
other perks i may use the camera for is for fast paced images, such as the power explosion of a bullet out of a chamber. no doubt that it will be hard if not impossible to get a good picture, but ive always wanted to try to get a pefect shot of a bullet exiting the chamber of a gun.
you don't need a fast shutter speed to take pictures in bright sun light. you can use a ND filter if you want to shoot wide open instead of steping the aperature down.
