I was wondering how you got hands on a K-m, but see that you’re simply translating and taking the figures from DC Watch.
Still for us non-Japanese speakers, it is nice to get an idea about what the DC Watch articles are all about.
I would guess that actual users would prefer the better frame buffer. Maybe the final product will have the 3.5 fps; still for an entry-level cam, this should not be the most important aspect.
“Anyway, I have already measured the overall system lag time of the 5D MkII to be 105 ms which is indeed 27 ms longer than the original 5D”
So the MKII is doing poorer than the MI ?!? I think you should make a website on how disappointing this must be, how Canon couldn’t even go beyond what a fairly old (for a digital) camera could do.
I'll even hand in a headline : "Buy the MarkII and get slower system lag time, than the original MarkI"
Edit :
You write :
"I own several Pentax film and DSLR bodies, along with an original Pentax lens collection of F, F*, FA, FA*, FA Limited, FAJ, DA, DFA lenses, from 16 to 300mm."
How many different Pentax DSLR's do you have ?
