So it seems that Pentax has produced a machine gun to compete with, hum, I'm not sure who they're competing with, a movie camera it seems like. There are features I would have preferred to super speedy frame rates. Five frames per second in raw capture would have been more than enough for me, and I doubt many sports shooters are going to forsake their "auto Cannons" to move over to Pentax.
