I was wondering about propellers again (aviation I’m afraid being my main hobby) and wonder if anyone with a 3 CMOS Chip camera (Z5 I believe uses them?) has shot any propeller aircraft in motion.
I understand that cameras that have a single CMOS chip have the issue of propellers not spinning but floating in lines, example here:

and here:

but talking with a camera operator today using a Z5 (her first outing at an airshow with the camera) she said that she hadn’t seen a problem with either the Jello effect or floating props?
Is it just an issue with single CMOS cameras?
Just wondering? I am happy with the Panasonic 151 as it uses CCD’s and has no issues with propellers, but has anyone else tried CMOS cameras on aviation subjects with success at recording Helicopter blades and Prop driven aircraft?
