K1000 is fine. Not 30 seconds. 30 seconds will totally clear the buffer and allow for one more series of 5 shots. There will be 7-9 seconds between shots after # 5. I wish I could buy an add-on/plug-in-buffer, that could boost the speed of the thing. It might even be fittet into the Battery Grip or below it! (Are you listening Pentax?) This problem is my only important complain about the *ist D, really!
