I managed to break the LCD on my HP r717 digital camera a while back, but
couldn't find anything that excited me as a replacement, so have been doing
without and borrowing my son's camera from time to time.  That changed 
recently... my new camera is a 
[Casio High Speed EXILIM](http://www.casio.com/products/Cameras/High_Speed_EXILIM/) model 
[EX-FC100BK](http://www.casio.com/products/Cameras/High_Speed_EXILIM/EX-FC100BK/).

I've never been able to get the timing right to take photos of our rockets
leaving the launch rails.  I manage to get passable videos from time to
time, and a lot of pictures of smoke trails... but WOW, the ability to take 
a burst of high-resolution still photos at a fast frame rate (some of which 
are even before the shutter release gets fully pressed!) completely and totally
rocks my world!

I just put a few of the best frames I captured at Saturday's launch up on
