I shoot to print, so I am either using RAW or JPEG large. With RAW, it shoots 5 quickly, then slows down tremendously. In JPEG large, it seems to be about 4 seconds between shots once the buffer is full. In JPEG small, it is only a couple of seconds between shots, but since I don't shoot this way, I never bothered to investigate. Either way, it is too slow for someone who shoots rabid bursts at short intervals. William Robb
