Right then Trevor.

I've just come back from 4 days up at Chanonry Point (again!) photographing the dolphins, this time using the 30 fps Raw pre burst a lot of the time. It's superb, I've a shot at the start of a burst with calm water before the dolphin erupted vertically, yet I only had time to press the shutter when it was half way out, plus many burst shots of plain water as I pan round to a fully airborne dolphin before pressing the shutter. The only proviso is that the buffer fills rapidly, so you do need a fast card (going to look for the fastest I can afford) if you take a lot of bursts in quick succession.

As well as that, I agree with everything everyone else has said, with the addition that it's performed excellently with the Oly 40-150 PRO as well as the Pany 100-400, including bifs from a moving boat.

I'd love to see some shots if you can do it sometime
