Originally posted by nicolaidenmark Can anybody tell me how the buffer of the K-3 does against that of the 70D? Camerarec Toby did a 70D buffer test and got hundreds of jpeg shots (blank frames with lens cap on) before the buffer filled.
The only video I have been able to find showing the performance of the K-3 in this regard is this video:
Pentax Ricoh K-3 Serienbild Feuer (mode HIgh) - YouTube Just did it on my k-3.
Transcend 32GB 45mbps write cards
JPEG 3 stars Large ~1700 capacity
Shutter speed 1/1600s
Manual focus
Blank frames with lens cap on
Recorded 3 times, each time ~70 frames before slowdown (slowdown was maybe 4-5 FPS instead of 8FPS)
Humourously I tried the same with my k-30 (used the same card) and I got 200 frames and it wouldn't slow down. Shooting at 6FPS, I got 200 and 100 frames and no slow down. I stopped both times because I eventually decided that I didn't want to keep recording that long.
