Watched the video and impressed by the AF. I'm eager to see where the AF of ML cameras will be in 2y from now.

OTOH the "busy" thingy when buffer is full is not a good thing. I understand that it is a 1500 usd camera but Sony did have the A77ii bursting at 12fps in 2012 (a 1200 usd camera with kit lens) facing the Nikon D500 and nobody liked the "busy" thinggy of the Sony. I still have my A77ii and I my mself dislike when it's locked in "busy" after a burst...

you just put the R8 in craw mode and 20 fps - you get 10 seconds of shooting - 200 shots

I don't shoot compressed. For what I shoot I also learned to trigger just before something interesting happen to avoid to have to fill buffer.

But yes using compressed or OOC jpeg remains a workaround..
