The first thing I look for with high-fps cameras is 'does it have a slower setting?'. I prefer to leave my camera set to continuous drive at 2.5-3fps. Buffer size I care about a lot more, but even there I only really want 9-12 shots in the buffer (and that's more because I'll load up the buffer with a group of shorter bursts than shooting long bursts). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
