A 2G memory card on the *ist DS takes less than four seconds to exchange and holds approx 197 exposures. That's 8.2 minutes of shooting time with the shutter release held down in continuous mode. A 36 exposure roll of film in the MZ-S is completed in 15 seconds. Let's be optimistic and say it takes a minute to rewind and change the film. So in the same 8.2 minutes of "continuous" shooting, you might make up to 40 exposures more with film ... but it would be less continuous, and I honestly doubt you could do it in practice. You'll fall behind after the card change, and if the *ist DS started with a 4G card, you'd not even keep up with the first card. Of course, the point is utterly moot. I can see little to no reason to do such stuff. I often do not expose 40 frames in an entire day's shooting.
