what is 14fps burst

The canon 350D has a 14fps burst- what does this mean? I wanna do sport photography- what is a good entry level Digital SLR?

"fps" = frames/second

[DownByFive]

Actually, I believe the 350D shoots 3 fps for ~25 frames in large/fine mode. 14fps is practically video!

[terryger]

the 350 shhots 3fps for a total of 14. that is where he saw 14fps.

the 20d will shoot 5fps for 5seconds. 25fps.

give or take.

14 "Frames Per Second" would mean the camera can shoot 14 frames in a second. But really it can't shoot that many, where do you saw that?

This was taken from the Canon site:

"Fast 3 frames-per-second shooting with a 14 frame burst..."

So yes, as a few others have mentioned, the camera shoots 3 fps up to a TOTAL of 14 frames. "Burst" refers to the total number of frames at a given rate. After you reach that fourteenth frame, the camera will pause to process all the shot image files before letting you shoot again...

And, to answer your question, that rate and burst is decent enough, but if you're going to be shooting action sports, you might find it a little constraining. Still, to do much better, you'e going to have to spend quite a bit more money...

Yes, basically frames per second goes up as you go up the product line. If you line up all of the current production cameras, you will see a direct link between fps and price. The more you give, the more you get. The 350D's fps rate is right in line with other cameras in the same price range, if not a smidge higher.
