RAW or JPEG for concerts

Probably thinking of maximum number of shots before the buffer fills rather than fps. The 1DmkIV will shoot 10fps for 121 large Jpegs or 28 Raw.

If you need to have the shutter button pressed for 12 seconds just video it

Personally I shoot only RAW and as far as I am aware most of the other togs I see at gigs and festivals do, or at least the ones I talk to. Of the couple that I am aware who shoot only JPEG this is either because they tend to take a lot of images or they are working for an agency such as Redferns (Getty) etc and need to get back home and wire them asap.

think there's an echo in here
