Why do you have to keep going into the menus? What are you changing, and
why?
I mostly don't have to, I just am at the moment as I'm playing with it. On the
occasions where I have to, it's because the other user 8-))) has left it on a
setting that I prefer not to use and it needs adjusting.
It's OK but not yet instinctive but I found that the
camera sometimes doesn't respond properly.
Probably an issue with my example.
In what way doesn't it respond properly?
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? Mine will take two shots,
then takes about seven seconds to begin firing at about five
second intervals.
How fast is your SD card? I can get five continuous shots from the DS, and
then one about every second or so thereafter. I'm using an 80X card, and
it's noticeably faster than the slower card I used before. I believe the
DL has at least the same buffer and write speed as the DS, and maybe even
the ability to take advantage of faster cards.
Don't know. 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.
