Someone with a 2000 fps Phantom HD video camera wanted something to shoot. Why they don’t shoot something better like a direct print button god only knows!

Oh silly me! I forgot about the blazing speed of the direct print button on a camera of this calibre!!!

I just hope you realize the mirror bouncing doesn’t happen between frames at 11 fps. During bursts the mirror just stays up until the burst of frames finishes, so the only part moving would be the curtain going up and down.

Exactly, no reason for the mirror to bounce up and down, say in video 30 fps. Just leave it up. Easy to verify – does the optical viewfinder blank out during video modes?

you know it does because movie mode is a variant of live-view capture, during which the mirror is locked up.
also a 35mm mirror assembly can’t survive 30 fps anyway.
