Possibly turn off auto focus and just set for infinity. Or maybe ½ trigger
will ?set? focus, and reduce the delay when you go full trigger.

On my Sony, I press the button and about 3 or 4 seconds later it snaps. The
Viewfinder stays live till it snaps. I?m not sure what burst mode is. I
can?t track the flight cause its starts focusing on the clouds and to the
rocket than back to the clouds. I never seem to get a lock on the rocket
flight. It just doesn?t do what I want it to do like my old 35mm camera
did! I could take great photos with it.

Sounds like that should work well Larry. I try to anticipate liftoff by
starting shooting when you get heavy motor smoke. By the time you hold down
the button and the shudder starts, the rocket should be lit and moving.
Does your viewfinder stay live in burst mode? If not you may need to keep
both eyes open and track the liftoff and flight.
It takes practice!!

I?m looking at a Canon EOS 60D that will shoot 8 photos a second. Will that
be good enough? Will the photos look good on a full screen? I see that
there some of you take great photos of the Rockets coming off the launch
rods. All I get is a bunch of smoke. My Song is slow to take a photo. I just
can?t guess at when it will snap.
