Here's another way of determining the burst speed that should be easier for users. It was suggested by Schmegg in the forums.whirlpool.net.au Photography forum: Photograph a stopwatch program on your PC e.g.
Free stopwatch and countdown timer
Here's how to use this method. It's not as accurate as digital audio (PC timers can be a bit unreliable), but probably good enough for this purpose..
1. Install the timer display program and start it running showing seconds to at least 1 decimal point.
2. Photograph the timer display in a burst until the buffer fills (I suggest a tripod to prevent AF adjusting
during the burst (at the start is not a problem).
3. Say the first shot shows the timer (in mm:ss.ddd) at 10:25.100 and the 24th shot shows 10:28:642. The difference is 3.542s over 23 shots (take away 1 for the start). So the burst rate is 3.542/23 = 154ms/shot and 1s/0.154ms = 6.5 fps
4. To ensure that no unexpected stutters occurred, I'd suggest also checking about half-way from the start too. So in this example, at the 13th shot and divide the difference from the first shot by 12. The result should be close to the full burst speed.
5. Send the fps and the other requested camera info to me.
