It is interesting to note that in a speed test that although the 70d does shoot faster bursts it will not capture more frames over 30 sec.

Using the SanDisk extreme pro 95Mb/s 32gb card tests show the 70d capturing only 46 RAW images

So that would be like 15 shots in the first 2.1 seconds (7/s), and 31 shots in the remaining 27.9s (1.1/s).

while the ......................................................................................T6s capturing ....... 85 RAW images

Versus 7/1.4s (5/s), and 78/28.6s (2.7/s). Would you be better off using the 70D's 3fps mode? Unfortunately we don't have that data to hand, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Rebels got more shots in.

R2? Would you do a quick test for us?

What this tells us, is that after the buffer is filled there is a longer wait period on the 70d (because of older technology) while it clears it's buffer than there is on the T6s

Yeah, good one. I would still have the 70D, here's why - I was shooting a grebe on a lake one day, trying to capture it diving into the water. There was no indication of when it would dive, and a dive is over so fast that I couldn't wait for it to start and I needed a high frame rate. So the only way to capture it was to start a high-speed burst and hope that the grebe would dive during the burst.

That's the general case for me - the thing that matters is how long I can shoot at a high frame rate, not how many shots or what rate I can get once the buffer fills. I think it's excellent that the latest Rebels give you a de facto low-speed frame rate that goes forever.
