Nice shots
My lunch looked better (than a butterfly) though

Lovely set, they all work very well together, especially with the info, to make a very interesting mini-article. I didn't realise there were any raptors that small!

I know you are not a birder so you have probably not come across a need for this
However, it looks like variable setting would be better as by removing 1.6fps we'll upset those who use it. I don't know what they use it for, but no doubt somebody does.

As has been said sometimes you don't need 7 fps and 3-4 would be perfect
It would seem odd for a manufacturer to make a selling point of having a slower frame rate than the opposition and I'm not aware of one that does.

why the drop mentioned for the LO mode
The fast rate can of course be reduced by using a slower shutter speed. You can't do 7fps with a shutter speed of 1/2 second for example.
The whole point of 7 fps is to catch fast action so a slow shutter speed would be counter-productive.
What is the point of being able to fill the card at 1.6 fps ? As has been said sometimes you don't need 7 fps and 3-4 would be perfect. Just last weekend I found out how totally useless that 1.6 fps is and had to switch back to my default 7 fps and just delete the excess.
