Since it's written up as a "commercial sports" camera (whatever that means), three seconds is not very long. Take for an example, a runner sliding into home plate. If you start shooting as he becomes airborne and follow through to the slide and reaction, that's a lot longer than three seconds, and any of those frames could be "the one". During the Memorial Day fight between the Giants and the Nationals, I hammered away on my D5. That went on for a long time and I got a lot of great shots out of that.
Interesting,
A runner doing the 100 yard dash takes 10 seconds. Or 10 yards per second. It's 90 feet between bases or 30 yards. I'd expect the runner to be going full speed at the start of the slide. I've never seen someone slide more than 2 yards and usually 1 yard or less. If you hit the shutter release as they start the slide 3 seconds should be plenty of time for a 1 yard time and I can see the occasional time when you would need more.
I shoot birds in flight these days and 3 seconds is an eternity. When I shot sports it was all manual and I had to chose the moments I wanted. I still prefer to do this today though I do shoot short bursts.
Now, if you are going to rely on the camera to capture the magic moment, is 10 FPS fast enough? How about motor sports where a crash can take a very long time?
