I'll preface this by noting I shoot in RAW only. But I find the waiting to be minimal. It's maybe 30 seconds from hitting a full buffer to shooting again, less if shooting JPEG. Unlike the Rebel, buffer size varies by format with the DS and K100D. The K100D is 3 RAW/5 JPEG, while the DS is 5 RAW/9 JPEG. Both cameras are a fair bit faster than the Rebel, which is rather on the slow side. The K100D is a great little camera, while I want the K10D, I do keep thinking that just getting some glass and maybe a DS as a backup might be a better idea. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
