I could see it being a limitation at key/critical moments, maybe not
often... If one is taking a panorama at sunrise or sunset, during a fast
moving storm, times when the light is changing fast... One buffer of shots
may be enough to capture it, but it would be nice to have enough speed to
bracket and get a 2nd or 3rd chance at it before the opportunity is gone.
It happened to me in Alaska, where there was a very wide scene... I had just
taken 2 or 3 shots before I was concentrating on the panorama around me,
started shooting the panorama, and dead in the water half way through
waiting to be able to fire again.
Panos aside, any action shots, deer running through the forest for example
can quickly fill the buffer.
Not the end of the world of course, and not a reason to NOT purchase. It
was actually more difficult with film and needing to change rolls. We're
getting a little bit spoiled, it seems. :)

I guess its implied that you're trying to capture images faster than the
buffer will allow.
I very seldom run up against that limitation, especially with panos.

Not aware of an issue with panos. What did I miss?
It's all to do with the total angle of view required vs the lenses angle
view
vs the dynamics of the subject, simple really.
