... frame rate will improve which for me as a Bird in flight
photographer being of special interest to me

The Kodak Z1015 IS camera is a

10MP still camera and also
30fps 720p HDTV camcorder with
15X optical zoom. 

It has 64 meg internal memory and accepts up to 16GBy SDHC fkash memory. 

That having been said, I must add that the camera is not getting the precise focus that I expect; there are playback issues with the 720p HDTV; playback on a PC requires a 3.0 GHz processr.  There are also some technical issues. 

What I'm saying is that there are cameras out there that can record lots of detail at high frame rate.
