Not great for creating pano sequences is it? :-(
Oddly enough, I've managed to use my D for (RAW) panoramas,
and for motorsports action photography.
I've tried some panos with mine. It can be done, but you have to be patient
with the camera.
I guess it's just as well that I didn't know the camera
couldn't be used for such things.
Did someone say that or are you hyperbolizing?
It could certainly be better for buffer size, write speed,
and auto-focus performance (while I've got some great action
shots, I've also got several near misses).
I suspect that was Rob's point. I know for a fact I have missed a number of
pictures because of the small, slow buffer.
But I don't regret having purchased the camera, even though
I paid almost $2000 (US) for the camera and battery grip.
Nor I, but this does not mean I don't see room for improvement.
