Which DSLR is best for action and faster movements?

Which DSLR is best for action and faster movements?

They're all rolling shutter (CMOS) so I would say they would all be about the same in that regard.

[Nemesis TS]

Sorry to be an idiot, what is rolling shutter? And have we seen it in any of the movies for examples? My camera the xh-a1 had some problems when I was doing some hand held it felt like the image or person in the image was sort of skipping or lagging. Is that rolling shutter?

[seanmcleod]

Nope Nemesis rolling shutter just means that basically the image is scanned sequentially from line 1 to line 2 to line 3 and so on... so what happens is if you make a fast pan, say past a tree, the part of the tree near the top of the frame will get processed and imaged before the part of the tree near the bottom. but by the time it gets to scanning the bottom line the horizontal positioning of the tree in the frame has changed because the pan is so fast. This results in what should be a straight line appearing to look slightly diagonal, it's called skew.

I believe I was the only one using the cheapest DSLR, the Pentax K-X.
