From Pentax.ca:

The *istDL2 records up to five images (at “best” image quality in 6 megapixel JPEG format) or three images (in RAW format) consecutively at a speed of approximately 2.8 frames per second, allowing the user to capture a series of photos of the subject’s motion.

That's what I'm getting.  I can take pictures about every 3seconds+ if I 
take them seperately.  If I hold the shutter button down it does the 
handbook thing.  So about as fast as I can shoot using my thumb to wind 
on.  Lame.  I'll have to set up approach paths and strict landing zones 
in the garden.  8-)

Just had a play with it on some Blue Tits filling their nest box with 
fluffy stuff and sorted out a few problems.  The camera does its stop 
down thing if you have pressed the shutter button.  In other words, it's 
not enough for the camera to be on, it has to be ON.  Not clear in the 
manual, IIRC.
