Higher resolution is fine, but I'm baffled by the need for a faster 
buffer. I spot the potential picture, get ready, and take it. If it's a 
moving or changing subject I wait for the right moment, near as I can 
guess, and press the button. 

I guess having learned my photography on a twin-lens reflex with 
twelve shots per roll, where you had to wind on with several turns of a 
knob, and cock the shutter by hand[1] explains this. I've never used a 
camera with any kind of power wind or motor drive; I just don't feel any 
need to shoot in bursts.
