I really like that they now offer their pre-buffer mode but it's only for JPGs? So I have to be shooting JPG-only for this to function? I'm just not ready to do that. The reviewers say it is probably a buffer limitation as to why they don't offered RAW, but isn't a JPG derived from the original 'RAW' image? I hope they offer RAW pre-buffer even if the have to drop the frame rate.

So now Nikon has "Olympus's Pro Capture", too, eh? But jpeg only??

I wonder what's next: hand-held pixel-shift high res? In-camera ND? Live Composite?
