Bill, What if you wanted to catch a sequence of a car going into the gravel trap, or a rider being ejected from his motorcycle? Can you shoot (on film) 5 frames in in one second (the time it takes for a spin to happen) winding with your thumb?
This fps argument has been going on for ages. High frame rates are extremely useful in certain situations and worthless in others. Obviously experience in how to shoot action is very important, but getting a sequence requires high fps.
