Agreed.
Coincidentally I was in Hokkaido two weeks before Art with a 100-4002 + 1.4x v3 (i.e. max f/8) and had to decide between raw and jpeg given the ~ 12-15 sec write wait after a burst of raw, during the fast action when the eagles are stealing the fish from the cranes at feeding time at the Akan centre At this point I decided soaring eagles and the like are good for raw because they are so slow they are almost not in flight, while for action sequences switching to jpeg was more productive, although no faster for sequences but rather for time between consecutive sequences. I was getting about 5 fps. I'm still working on a sequence of shots (about 3 seconds) of a fight between a sea eagle and a white tailed eagle where the latter has the former's bill in one of its claws (will post soon in Wildlife forum) - I would not have been able to get that had I been shooting raw just before they went at it The lighting was fixed and I already had the exposure set well. More of my more photography is (stationary) landscapes so this is not an issue and I shoot raw, of course. Now, if the 5Ds could shoot at 5-7 fps AND write a large burst of raw in a couple of seconds, there'd be no need for these compromises, but for now, for me, it's a good combo camera
