I agree.
My Sea&Sea DX5000G takes about 20 seconds to write a RAW TIFF file to the SD card. I've tried uber-fast SD cards and they're no faster, so it's the camera that takes the time.
Whilst it would be fantastic to use a 10Mb raw image file for post-processing, I just cannot wait 20 seconds after each shot - especially if there's a little blur or you're shooting something that isn't stuck in the same place...
whilst the DX5000 has a really fast shutter response, all the benefits of capturing the action are lost if you can only take 2 shots per minute!
and the RAW plugin only works with RAW images from certain cameras.
