Re: Skateboard action with NX1100

I have both the NX1100 and NX3000.

I hadn't really looked and continuous/burst modes on the NX1100 but had been playing with these modes on the NX3000.

Unlike the NX1100 which stops further photo captures after the relevant number of images (Continuous RAW High = 3 FPS then stops, Continuous RAW Low = 8 FPS then stops, Burst = upto 30fps then stops), the NX3000 completes the relevant number of quick initial captures (5Frames RAW then about 1 per 1.5 seconds indefinitely until shutter released, 5FPS for about 2.5 seconds then 1fps indefinitely until shutter released or Burst = up to 30FPS then stops)

So I reckon the NX3000 is perhaps behaving more as you expect. I wonder if the limitation is a CPU one and this was increased to be more flexible with the NX3000.

Unless you would really miss a cable (USB) remote control or Sensor cleaning I would recommend the NX3000 as an interim step until you can afford a NX30/50 etc. With many people buying them up for the 16-50PZ and then selling the bodies you can get one really cheap (around £100 - £125 in the UK for Body with LR5 and Flash)
