Sports Jump & Roll

Here's a continuous shooting sequence of a martial arts group in Lumut town of Perak province in Malaysia showing of what they could do to the public, exemplifying the K-5's 7fps drive mode:

Nice. Were they supposed to collapse like that?

Is the K5 7fps in RAW? I gripped my D700 to go from 5 to 8fps, and it's almost too fast. I'm sure there'll be some sports (or situations like this) where I want to make sure to catch the perfect image, but damn that's fast.

It appeared like the jumper used the top person on the human pyramid as leverage to get over the top, which may have caused the collapse.

Anyway, the K-5 is 7fps in both RAW and JPEG, and I believe it's reasonably fast for most sporting situations.

Ash, it appears the camera kept excellent focus for shooting that many fps. thanks for posting another example of the cameras capabilities, Bob

Yes, it tracks focus well Bob.
