K-5 Continuous Shooting Does 3 Frames Only! If and When..

The lens correction function is turned on! A Class 10 card doesn't help! See:-

I still recall that last time (very recently) I tested the Canon 5D MkII had no such a problem! >:-o

Class 10, according to the standard as listed on Wikipedia, is a minimum of 10MB per second, so it's not really fast. Also, the raw files from the K-5, at least NEF, are between 13MB and 30MB from the pictures I've taken so far, bust most are between 20MB and 30MB somewhere.

My SanDisk Extreme III cards, which do 20MB/p cards give me 7, 8 and 9 images in a burst just now (I have it with me to work :P). This was tested with both PEF and DNG.

With JPEG full resolution and quality I get 33 pictures in a burst before the speed slows down, so that's a lot more.

I'll be buying the faster SanDisk Extreme III 30MB/p versions and then see what I get (also, 16GB, not 4GB anymore, to small with these big files :P).

Maybe the key here is "lens correction function"? It surely should eat some processing power.

Yes , it does-the lens correction utlize the power but ......how many times do you need the sporting action speed and corrected photos? It is non-issue at all (for non-measurbatorsr at leats)

But then there is no issue. Lens correction may be switched off.

Vous êtes vraiment fatiguant avec votre dénigrement systématique. Intéressez vous aux autres marques ça nous fera des vacances.
vous nous cassez les couilles

Bien d'accord! Comme j'ai déja mentionné, il ne fait rien pour aider la marque. Tout est principalement négatif.
Je serais surpris de voir combien de défauts il trouvrait envers les autres marques.
Il apporte des liens intéressant mais ses commentaires à la con sont trop souvent déplacé et peu utiles.
Il a la tête dure le bloke.

come on..... you're comparing a camera that cost way more than Pentax and expect Pentax to perform miracles? Heck you're already complaining about the current price.....And even that too has been widely misreported, the price for Pentax K-5 in Europe and Asia is not that much different to Nikon D7000, heck! From where I am the Nkon D7000 cost more.

come on.... seriously? Oh brother.....

Burst buffer is now doubled in RAW mode, fw 1.01 is out there. Lens correction is definitely slow and can be solved better in lightroom 3.0, I never do it in camera because it lacks manual control over it.
