Impotant to whom? I was ansewering a question about recommending the *ist D for action shots of skaters. I can't recommend the *ist D for this.The write speed alone will be a huge problem. 8 secs. per shot. That's not action. That's a PITA! The AF and FPS isn't making this any better. If I could recommend the *ist D, I could have recommended using ANY camera with no shutter lag. Regards Jens Bladt http://www.jensbladt.dk

I find it virtually irrelevant to my photography. Probably 99.9% of the time I have my camera set to single shot mode, and I use manual focus quite a bit. The Sony R1 I bought only has a two-frame buffer when capturing RAW, and takes 9 seconds to write a RAW file and free the buffer for a third shot after the buffer is full. I haven't found it to be any detraction at all, nor the supposedly "slow" AF in low light. Important to some is not important to all.
