Alex, you are wrng as Dpreview is. *istD has buffer for 6 frames no matter
if RAW or JPEG. One thing is nowhere mentioned - you have to turn noise
reduction off, as it apparently reserves some buffer space for image
processing. After all N.R. is useless during fast continuos shooting so
you loose nothing. And the number of frames in one burst is independent
from card speed as Dario suggested.
