I need to read more but it sounds like the burst mode is take a crap load of one subject then turn around and take a crap load of another. it would be great for action shots but I'm surrounded by 100 nerds posing and I'm trying to get as many different subjects as possible.
I assume these are indoor shots and you're talking about the time it takes for the flash to recycle. Most cameras with a built-in flash take a while for the flash to recycle between shots. I found another review of the EX-FH20 at
dcresource and it turns out it has a continuous flash mode specifically for what you're talking about
: "The other continuous mode on the Exilim EX-FH20 is for shooting with the flash. The camera can take anywhere from 3 - 10 shots in a row at 1, 3, or 5 frames/second -- with the flash." Looking at the specs, it does sacrifice some flash range for the ability to do so, but if you're just taking pictures of people inside then you should do alright. The feature seems to be accessible by sub-menu on various other more compact Casio cameras but the FH20 seems to be the one where it's best implemented.
