There are times when I’m too lazy to switch to burst mode, but even with single taps on the shutter, it effortlessly delivers over 5 frames per second. The lossless compressed RAW files weigh in at just 16MB, which reminds me of my days with the a7R5, where a single RAW file could balloon up to 80MB.
