What is the importance of having so many fps in stills being at least 6-7 but really at least 10 fps for action or wildlife? Since years ago but as recently as about 7 yrs ago you couldn't do any better a few at a time.
It helps to capture a particular moment, or instant, in time that might be missed with slower FPS. This is especially important to sports and wildlife photographers.What is the importance of having so many fps in stills being at least 6-7 but really at least 10 fps for action or wildlife?

Maybe because he is an Existentialist? I haven't finished my first cup of coffee yet and am still wondering why I clicked on "Why".Why have a title so enigmatic as "Why?"?
fps is another magic number that keeps the internet buzz going, along with DR and several others. Frames per second are more important to some people than to others. How much is enough? Endless hours of fun on the internet.It helps to capture a particular moment, or instant, in time that might be missed with slower FPS.

You can set some cameras to detect whether eyes are shut.here's why
have you ever photoed family members only to discover their eyes are shut?. now if you can take 10 or 12 fps you may have a image where they don't look half cut or pissed
I use that mode when bracketing on the 6D2, since that is the way it shoots sequentially on one press. Otherwise I trust my eyes and reflexes to time the shot. I’m probably wrong, but I fear getting a bunch of pictures, one of which is right before and one right after what I was wanting to shoot. Maybe if I were willing to pay thousands of dollars more to get a lot more fps I would trust it to luck, or if I were shooting to pay the bills rather than for fun, my priorities would differ.It sells cameras. I've only used one shot except to use 10 fps on my 1 series camera a few times, and trying to capture the snap of a bull whip which is impossible. After those uses, I reverted to 1 shot.
I don't like to sort thru hundreds of images just to find one I would have captured in one shot mode. I'll grant that BIF photographers where its difficult to keep a bird in the frame do benefit, and professional sports photographers will get a payday out of having the precise correct photo.
it's not fun. It becomes a tedious exchange between those that don't need and those that do need high fps just like for megapixels.fps is another magic number that keeps the internet buzz going, along with DR and several others.

Yeah, but "what I shoot is mainstream, everything else is just niche" (Sarcasm, Alan perfectly knows what I use to shoot).it's not fun. It becomes a tedious exchange between those that don't need and those that do need high fps just like for megapixels.
Don't expect commonsense to prevail - it's asking too much.If you need it, it is a great feature. 30FPS with a pre-shutter buffer rocks!
If you don’t need it, don’t use it.
If you want something in the middle, set your burst speed to what you want.
People used to store food in ice boxes before there were refrigerators and the food still tasted good. Why do we need refrigerators?What did people do when there cameras only shot 1-3 fps or in flim days when you didn't have more then 1fps? Photographers shot sports then, too and got some great photos.
People used motor drives and could get 10 - 14 fps, just not for very long!What did people do when there cameras only shot 1-3 fps or in flim days when you didn't have more then 1fps? Photographers shot sports then, too and got some great photos.
