FWIW, credit goes to
YouTube - fotonara1234's Channel . It's his videos. He's a stupefying K20D video too so we all can see the difference
19 RAWs and 25 JPGs. So, both are written as compressed files now into the writing buffer and 25/19 is their approximate size difference (15MB vs. 20MB).
I would guess that a lower JPG quality would obtain more frames before buffer fills.
BTW, for the K-7 and in lowest 14.6MP JPG quality (1 star), the buffer actually never fills and the K-7 bursts 5.2fps forever (until battery depleted, card full or shutter broken). I did some 1 minute videos this way: IQ beats Hollywood
I checked for the K-5 and it's too fast even in lowest JPG quality. At least with firmware v0.30.
