And he was correct. Frames per second (fps) is typically 3 to 12 fps (for still images) depending on the model and configuration. That's entirely unrelated to megapixels (mp) which is now in the 18 to 24MP range for most digital cameras released over the past 3 ish years. If you're unsure of the meaning of something, try google. Or, wikipedia for your exact camera model.
I have to disagree that FPS and MP are unrelated. They are very much related as the FPS and MP per frame determine how much data the camera must be able to flow through the system. Of course buffering and multiple processors can be factors also in how much and how fast the processing can take place.
