Let's go back to Herb's complaint. Anyone who shoots action, whether it
be birds, race cars, or surfers, will tell you that a small buffer and
slow write speed are indeed a handicap. No two ways about it. I don't
share his pessimism in regard to the future. I expect a competitive
Pentax digital very soon. APS is okay. Just give me resolution, memory,
and speed.

A lot of this discussion has been centered around comparing "crap

the
most part, comparisons between "very good tools" and "very, very good

purchase of a $1000 table saw, but I doubt he'd claim another big jump
in quality if he bought a $2000 or $3000 table saw.
There's a point at which upgrading the tools becomes less important
than
upgrading the operator. That point, of course, is different for every
operator and the trick lies in being honest with yourself when
assessing
it in your own development.
