Fastest Shutter Speed
The
Pentax MX-1 hands-on p has one of the fastest shutter times available of any point and shoot: 1/8000 of a second.
Having a faster max shutter speed means you'll be able to take pictures of fast moving subjects without any risk
of blur. Sports, car racing, fast moving people any kind of action where you want a super crisp photo. Fast
shutters are also important for very bright days when you want to use a low f-stop.
Example Photos using Fast Shutters
The following photos demonstrate the usefulness of a fast shutter time - in some cases its used to ensure
regardless of how sunny it is you can still utilize a wide open lens and in other circumstances its to capture your
subject in high speed motion
