Unless the DL2 has been seriously downgraded, the buffer should hold five frames regardless of card write speed.

On occasions, it's not doing the stop down thing to take an exposure reading. Doubly annoying as it's not consistent. May just be a cleanliness of the lens mount issue. > > > > > > How fast is your write speed?

It's a no-name (actually Dane-elec) 1Gb card I got for £14. Needed one in a hurry, so I got the cheapest option I could. The nearest name brand card was £90. I did try a card from work that was another non-famous brand and that was the same. The much smaller capacity Jessop's card (presumably based on a famous brand but quite old technology now) was similar. Can't find any buffer or write speed specs. Even if I could double the write speed, the result is still going to be a pain when, for example, trying to photograph birds at feeders. I haven't seen any options for firmware upgrades with the 2 yet, so that may have some bearing on the matter. mike ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
