What tells the tale is how fast the camera can fire after the buffer fills. With an ExtremeIII card, you can shoot continulous jpegs until the card is full, or 10 RAW until the buffer fills, and then about 3 frames every couple of seconds after that. It shoots a couple of frames, then pauses for a moment, then repeats. The performance with an UltraII card is only slightly poorer. You can still shoot full res jpegs continuously until the card fills, or 9 RAW until the buffer fills, and then 1fps after that. Using a blue Sandisk card, I can shoot 9 RAW in a row, and then one shot every ~2 seconds. Shooting jpeg, it's 26 shots, then a 2 second wait, then a couple of shots, 2 second wait, etc. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
