You missed the point.
He was complaining about the 15 seconds wait for a finished film to
rewind leaving him prone to missing important shots when changing film
in a 4 lap bike race. Compared to 10 seconds or so on F100. My point
was that if this extra 5 secs is that important then a single body is
stupid and you should change film between races!
Although you rais an interesting thought - if you want 5fps you could
hold a body in either hand and fire them simultaneously...!

Multiple bodies avoid the time spent changing lenses; you can't
switch between two bodies faster than the 2.5fps of the MZ-S.
Interestingly enough, the first time I used the MZ-S I was very aware
of the increased time for an exposure to complete compared to a PZ-1p.
Last weekend I didn't really notice it, even though I was switching
between both cameras (partly for the other reason to use two bodies;
two different film speeds). This was the first time I'd used the
battery grip - I wonder if the film advance, etc., is faster?
