What Rod said. Buffer size and write speed are the biggest limitations.

One of the reasons I like doing the occasional motorsports shoot is to

I'm sure I'd have a blast with a 1D-II and 600/4 but I got plenty of
publishable photos with my ist-D, FA*80-200 and Sigma 300/2.8
Learning the limitations of your tools and devising ways to deal with
these limitations is a worthwhile exercise for anyone, IMHO.
I know exactly what both me and my equipment are capable of. Basically
I'd
simply rather be engaged in fluid shooting than in tedious
work-arounds due
poor equipment performance. Buffer depth and writing speed is my
current #1
issue with my *ist D, it's caused me far more lost opportunities and
failed
shots than any other limitation.
