Doesn't need video anymore, high end cameras can run wild on taking picture after picture and start doing so before you even fully pressed the shutter, to account for human delays and the ones of the tech itself.

I mean we are talking about a part of photography where even back in the days of film a camera would run through a roll of film in seconds for exactly this sort of thing.

It amazes me that I can walk out of a game with 2000 images, I just read an article by someone who shot 9000 images of a game. With film it would cost at least $10 to buy and develop film for about 30 shots, so I'd be spending upwards of $600 to develop film. It's hard to be nostalgic for film when you see it that way.

(I still shoot images faster than I can process them, but it helps a lot that I got Keysticks working with lightroom so I can sit back and use an XBOX controller to scan through photos.)

I am thinking about shooting short video clips instead because I think those might do even better on social and let you tell stories that photos can't.
