You are going to have to differentiate between stills, and video when it
comes to presentation intent. Then consider whether, or not you are
shooting
a massive burst to capture a moment in time, or to analyze a particular
movement sequence. Both concepts are useful, but the hunt for the frame of
the captured moment to edit in post for presentation has to be chosen from
that burst of 30-100, or more frames. A veritable needle in the haystack,
and
then there is the possibility that you have captured nothing.

It should make it even more impressive that Eadweard Muybridge
(Muggeridge) took photographs in 1887 that showed that a galloping
horse does have all four hoofs off the ground at certain points.

Burst photography is often utilized by athletic coaches to evaluate an
athlete's movements...a baseball pitcher's delivery, a quarterback's
passing style, a golfer's swing, or a sprinter's take-off from the
blocks.

Those photos of a punter you posted might be used to point out needs
for improvement.

To all of the above I agree. For some there is going to be a need, and some
will undoubtably find, or already have a purpose for shooting 30-100 frame
bursts at such high frame rates. For me it is a novelty, and most of my
action shooting is going to be in the 4-11fps range, if and when I use the
burst mode at an event.

In your photos of race cars and bicycle racers you can pan. That
doesn't work in football or baseball unless you are intending to
produce an image where one figure is sharp and the rest are not.

Yup!

The issue remains, regardless of event the result will be hundreds, or
thousands of frames to sort through, and rate/cull. The investment in time to
deal with the selection process is going to be brain numbing. Then there is
whatever you might care to do with actual processing.

As I said, for me this is going to be bit of a novelty, and only used
occasionally if I ever have that sort of need arise. Even then I have frame
rates in CL of 3.0fps-5.7fps, Mechanical shutter CH frame rates of 8.0fps &
11fps before going to electronic shutter rates of 20fps, and with a 1.25X
crop, 10fps, 20fps, or 30fps.

I expanded my experiment this morning, and shot a 72 frame burst @ 30fps with
the electronic shutter, but this time with the shutter speed at 1/2000 rather
than the 1/500 of the first batch. Still SOOC JPEGs with no post adjustment
other than the same synced crop applied to each of the selected 10 frames.
