The closest answer I could find is in DPreview's review (for a 90 MB/s UHS I card):

JPEG Large/Fine:

Frame rate 9.2 fps

Number of frames 16

Buffer full rate 2.7 fps

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/olympusem5/11

JPEG Large/Fine is about 6 MB, Medium/Normal is only 1 MB, in principle it should be able to keep up the 9 fps forever then. That this actually work or is there another limit (my D800 can keep 5 fps @ Small/Normal forever with a fast card but every 100 images I have to briefly lift my finger of the shutter release and start a new sequence).

(I didn't find a Medium/Fine setting, does such a setting exist?)

You what ??

(my D800 can keep 5 fps @ Small/Normal forever with a fast card but every 100 images I have to briefly lift my finger of the shutter release and start a new sequence).

Can I be rude and ask what on earth you take 100 images of in a single burst ??. I'm at a loss really and I take bursts at 10FPS with the NEX 7 for bugs and birds in flight, but why 100 images ??

Very curious this end

Danny.
