As I'm upgrading due to age, rather than anything esle, and the only contstaint I have found with the 500D is the number of RAW shots in a row before it stumbles, I don't feel like I will be settling for 2nd best with the 760D

Canon say the max. burst of the 500D is 9 at 3.4/s (page 214 of the manual), but the 760D is only 7 at 5/s (page 404), so while the 760D is faster it's buffer is actually shallower.

Just to compare apples to apples, the 500d transfers 599.4 MB shots frames per second and the 760d transfers 927.5 MB shots frames per second.

It's all apples, just different sizes.

Photog 1: "Hey I just got an amazing 927.5MB/s burst!"

Photog 2:"Err, yeah... how many shots?"

Photog 1:"Umm, oh, ah, dunno..."
