is that really 5.2fps, i thoguht in both videos that especially the k20d sounds so slow, doesnt sound like 3fps.
the guy seems quite.. understated

My K20 is clearly faster.
I just compared it to the sound in the video.
I think the guy had set the K20 to "low", instead of "high".
"Low" gives about the speed in the video.

The K7 is quite fast.
That's good, but I don't need this feature.

The k-7 sounds quite a bit more muted. About time they fixed that unbearable shutter SLAP that accompanies each picture with the k10/20.

My K10D sounds the same as that K20D. What's reasuring is they have dampened the shound down a lot!!

Perhaps the camera was set to RAW? Can't the K-7 only get to 5.2 fps in jpeg?

Are you kidding? The shutter sound of my k100d is menacing! All the canikonians run scared...

It's 5.2 fps with jpg or RAW, you just can't take as many in a row if you're using RAW (14 RAW vs 40 jpg I think it is).
My K20's shutter is definitely quieter than my K10's was - but it's still reasurringly 'solid' sounding

All well and good when you're outdoors, but a real pain when photographing performances.

No joke. My friend and I got K100Ds at the same time. One of the first things he said was "Well I guess I won't be photographing any insects..."
