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

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

R2? Would you do a quick test for us?

Hi guys.

I've been using 64 GB (and 32 GB) SanDisk Extreme Pro 95 MB/s UHS-1 cards since I got the camera.

I always get 20 (full size RAW) frames in 3 seconds before slowdown.

The camera will thereafter shoot at a rate of appx 2 FPS ad infinitum.

It takes just under 9 seconds to clear the buffer.

I've posted my results previously...

I just saw your post WilbaW (    ) and tested again (using the same settings as the guy at CMS).

I got:  20 frames at 7 FPS (until buffer full).  ~ 2 FPS thereafter.  Just under 9 seconds to clear the buffer.

I also did the "30 second" test and got 68 frames using both methods:

1. hold shutter for 30 seconds.

2. shoot burst, clear buffer, shoot burst, clear buffer, shoot burst and hold shutter.

68 frames each time.

Personally I like to shoot bursts (rather than just shoot continuously at 2 FPS) for the same reasons as WilbaW.  People and critters move very fast (even when they're not trying to!).  A fast FPS and deep buffer will simply net you more keepers (yeah, wish I had the 1Dx MkII on some occasions!).
