what stills camera gives you the most frames per second continuous shooting?

Answer 1

With film and digital, the top of the line Canon and Nikon models reach 8 to 10 FPS.
With film, the Nikon F6 does rerequire the optional battery pack for 8 FPS. A roll of 36 frames would last 4.5 seconds. The Canon 1V reaches an incredible 10 FPS, blasting though a roll of film in 3.6 seconds.
With digital, the Nikon D2Xs reaches 8.0 FPS and can keep 35 pictures in the buffer. The Canon EOS 1D Mark ll N does 8.5 FPS and can store 48 jpg shots in the buffer. With both, the buffer partially clears to the memory card during shooting so you can continue shooting longer.
