Is it normal for the burst rate to slow down when you stop down the aperture?

So this isn't an issue with mirrorless cameras from other companies or has no one here tested them yet?

Sony uses stopped down focusing, so if you want to do bursts stopped down, Sony is the way to go. The downside is your AF system has less light in low light situations, on of the reasons i stayed with Canon.

Of course you should be able to choose whatever you need with both brands, which isn't possible unfortunately.

I guess that's good in theory if you value accuracy over speed, but I find that the autofocus on the M5 when tracking birds (or focusing on anything smallish and far away in general) is pretty crap from my experience (although I use Sigma telephoto lenses, never tried any of canon's). I always find myself punching in on the viewfinder and adjusting manually.
