Hi Mike: I'd recommend for that getting an inexpensive video capture card and then using a security camera. They're not all that expensive (figure $200 for camera and power supply and $50 for a BTTV card.) Then you can go for much faster shutter speeds. The Sony HAD-type cameras are a good bet... --- Jodie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Coleman" <mkc@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <video4linux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 01, 2001 12:50 PM Subject: max capture frame rate from consumer hardware? > Does anyone know what the maximum frame rate is for capture of sharp (not > blurry) images from consumer hardware (e.g., like a webcam or something)? > > I see some of these with specs implying they can do 20-30fps.
