HS10 vs. Pentax k-r: Butterflies - only in flight

Hi,

last month I spent two weeks in Tuscany (Italy), and two days with shooting butterflies. I used Pentax k-r and HS10.

The Pentax delivered some great shots (about 5% lucky shots), but the HS10 did it better (about 50%).

Why?

The possibility to decide which ones of the HS10 serial shots should be saved is a clear advantage against "only" seven shots in a row - mostly done before or after these very quick butterflies have moved out of the frame.

Here are some results (even more in my gallery).

Regards
Nic
