If you'd quit using such ridiculously high speed film you wouldn't 
need a faster shutter speed.  Do you not give a rodent's derriere 
about quality?  Do you like grainy pictures?  I doubt that I use a 
speed faster than 1/500 more times a year than I have fingers.  
Any 2 megapixel P&S will take better pictures than you can get 
with 800 speed film.  Slow down.  You'll live longer and take 
better pictures.  Speed kills.

there are a number of things that prevent it from being a solution 
for me.

FujiPress 800 and Ilford Delta 3200 (at 1000 EI) in my OM4(ti). I 
don't thnk that ISO 320 would cut it for me, even though the old 
pros that shot Tri-X usually rated it somewhere between 200 - 320.

>It's top shutter is 1/640 sec, something which would cause a 35mm 
film camera to be treated like a toy. Clearly, this is not a 
medium format contender, so that shutter limit is a problem.
