Problems with burst settings ???

[BAHAMAS]

Hi I am somewhat puzzled – as the other day I bought 2 Sony cameras to see which one would be a good all around pocket camera, they were the Sony H55 & the Sony HX5.

Going by the stats on the internet both of the cameras were said to do 10 fps but the H55 sounds like about 3 fps .

Can someone please explain this to & if there is a certain section in the cameras settings that will let the H55 do a faster burst rate.

Here is one of the comparison websites that I looked at.

If you are saying that you tried both cameras and you are only getting 3 fps on them when shooting instead of the advertised 10 fps then you have to consider a couple of factors. Do the stats say you'll get the 10 fps at the highest size settings? i.e. do you have to reduce the image size to get faster response? Also, do you have high-speed SD...oh, wait, they're Sonys, that would be Memory Sticks? Are their different grade memory sticks? Faster vs slower maybe?
