I shoot sports and was at one time a staff photographer for an animal theme park!. It is not about how fast the camera can shoot in the continuous mode !.!. it is all about shooting at the peak of action or anticipating the animals movement !.!.!. Sure there are times when being able to blast some continuous shots can be important, but in general not something one would want to depend upon to catch THE shot!. If you like, try shooting at the continuous rate, but after while, you will find a good balance between the two !.!.!. timed single shots vs!. burst shots!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A battery pack won't make a difference to the frames per second a camera can handle - that is a limit of the camera, not the battery!.

However, it would make a difference to the number of photos you can take overall, plus a lot of people like the feel of it!.

Try it out in a store if you can possibly do so!. Then, if you can afford it, you're right - it won't hurt!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
