It's also incorrect, as far as I know. The AF is (reportedly) significantly faster than any of the previous bodies. The FPS is reported to be a little better than 3 fps (some reports suggest as high as 3.5), which is also an improvement. And the write speed is, with a 150x card or better, good enough to write JPEGs until the card is full. RAW still stalls after somewhere from 9 to 12 frames (depending on which report you read). But that won't prevent the wailing and wringing of hands about the failings of a not-yet-released body. Sure, I'd like 5 fps for at least 20 frames. And I'm one of the few people who post to this group who would actually use that feature if it were there. But I can live without it. And I expect the AF to be a noticeable improvement over my *ist-D, and to get even better once the new DA* lenses are released. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
