But I was a bit joking, too :-) because shooting 5 RAWS per second continuosly until the card is filled with 600 pictures a kind of too much for any actual camera... It is to be hoped that Leica implements a large and fast buffer. Unfortunately this is one of the more costly elements in a digital camera.
