Data transfer is a major problem for most digital cameras. I wonder why nobody did come up with a dual memory card slot on high-end, i.e. already expensive, DSLRs. The bottle neck seems to be getting the data onto the storage device and not getting it off the sensor. The later could be easily scaled. While this doesn't eliminate the memory buffer it could ease the requirement for it and/or increase the max burst length and/or the resolution.
