Sony's Xperia Z is getting a lot of buzz before its launch, and it just continued today. Video surfaced online with a demonstration of a feature unknown about until today: fast burst camera mode.

By fast burst, we mean fast burst. This camera on the Xperia Z can snap 999 images in just over a minute. Watch the video if you don't believe it. (You'll have to watch with the sound on to get the rapid-fire shutter click, because the demonstrator decided to take 999 fast-burst photos of a stationary object.)

According to Geek, the Xperia Z's rear camera is capable of capturing 10 frames per second at 9-megapixels, but the video seems to demonstrate it's faster-than 14-frames-per-second.

As I've written before, the camera may be one of the break-out features on the Xperia Z that may help Sony compete with the leaders of the pack, Apple and Samsung. The camera is a very nice 13-megapixels, that looks like it will feature panoramic image capture, image stabilization, and very nice high quality photo color and low-light image capture. Just take a look at the Sony Xperia Z's image capture versus the iPhone 5 here. 

To power this, and other features of the Xperia Z, it will have a 1.5GHz quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM, and 16GB storage in the phone with an additional 32GB possible through microSD. You'll need that storage for all these fast-burst photos if the need for to capture a moment arises (and you might need to restrain yourself from capturing around 1000 images for every photo op). The Xperia Z is on sale right now in Japan, and is available for pre-order in some places in Europe, including Three and O2 in Great Britain. Look to early March for a wider release of Sony's flagship handset.
