Originally posted by NeatKnight I tried Rons idea of spinning a coin on a table (actually I used a casino chip) and what I found, unfortunately is that no shutter speed on the k-x consistently stops the motion. Although my P & S stops it dead at 1/1600. Fortunately, 1/1250 is enough 99% of the time and the k-x is still a great camera even without the higher speeds.
What were the exif figures for your p&s with 1/1600? Because the exif figures from that picture don't make sense. I tried those numbers and pointed the camera directly at a bulb (2 inches from lens) and still got 3+ stops under. Have you tried cleaning your contacts - lens and camera mount?
