That usually works but sometimes the unexpected happens.

Higher resolution and a faster, bigger buffer make sense, shouldn't add

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.
