Apart from the fact that ORF are a lot more flexable, with all due respect, you guys are missing the point. Frame rate, buffer zones WTF???  I think you guys are losing touch with what photography is about.

Nikon v Canon, Canon v Nikon, buy an Olympus and you don't have to get involved in that stuff.
It's like buying a Harley or a Yamaha Virgo they both do the same things, they both even look similar but with one (or two) you have to go through all the crap and who says it's better? the pros who get a kick back and can claim tax on their investment??.
I know that Nikon and Canon have bigger lenses and Olympus are a visually smaller equivilent but isn't  it how you use the thing that counts??

The above is not a personnel attack on anybody, it's about the arrogance of the brands.

By the way you should not compress RAW in camera if you do then again you miss the point.
My humble advise is to, buy more cards and make them fast and think/ plan before you shoot ; simple :-)
