I dunno, I believe that you could be wrong there.
From the press announcement copied
here
• Continuous High [CH]: 9 fps (9 - 11 fps with DX format)
• Burst @ JPEG Large/Normal: 64 shots (at 9 fps)
NOTE the DX format Image sizes
• 2784 x 1848 [L; 5.1 MP]
• 2080 x 1384 [M; 2.9 MP]
• 1392 x 920 [S; 1.3 MP]]
And directly from the specs on nikonusa.com..
Release Modes:
1) Single-frame [S] mode
2) Continuous low-speed [CL] mode: 1-9 frames per second*
3) Continuous high-speed [CH] mode: 9 fps (9-11 fps with DX format)*
4) LiveView [LV] mode
5) Self-timer mode
6) Mirror-up [Mup] mode
*With Continuous-servo AF, S or M exposure mode, shutter speed 1/250 s or faster; other settings are set at Default
Image Size (pixels): FX format (36 x 24): 4,256 x 2,832 (L), 3,184 x 2,120 (M), 2,128 x 1,416 (S)
5:4 (30 x 24): 3,552 x 2,832 (L), 2,656 x 2,120 (M), 1,776 x 1,416 (S)
DX format (24 x 16): 2,784 x 1,848 (L), 2,080 x 1,384 (M), 1,392 x 920 (S)
The first set of data makes it very clear that it is only capable of sustaining 9-11 fps in DX mode for up to 64 shots (jpgs). While the data directly from Nikon shown above is a little more vague, the mention of
Continuous low-speed [CL] mode: 1-9 frames per second and
Continuous high-speed [CH] mode: 9 fps (9-11 fps with DX format) seems to indicate that for sustained high speed you have to switch it into DX format as well?
I could be wrong but it seems to back up my point although I’ll admit it remains a little vague. Either way there is not much point having up to 9fps for sports etc if the camera then locks you out while it clears the buffer.
