But 20 fps isn't that much. Why not 60 or 120?

20FPS is insane on a 24MP full-frame camera. Each RAW is 6000x4000.. The image buffer can handle 241 pictures, so you can basically capture 12 seconds of 6k video.

To give some context, this camera can easily record 120FPS 1080P video with full autofocusing. It can record no-crop 4K video which means if you take a video of a scene, you can grab a full 24MP still from the video. 1080P video has 2 million pixels, 4K video has 8.3 million pixels, burst mode on this camera has 24 million pixels per still.

Because the data rate on 6000x4000 pixels uncompressed times 60 would be insane? 4k video is only 4096x2160.
