How big is the buffer on the Kx. Please tell me that the Pentax
engineers were not so braindead that they put the same size buffer
as
the K100 in it, so that it'll only hold two shots with the bigger
sensor, which means you can't even do a three shot bracketing with
it.
With memory less than half the price of what it was when the K100
came
out, nobody could be so stupid as to design that fatal flaw into a
camera. Could they?

And having used it pretty extensively, I can say that it is no worse
than the K20D in practical use. I use a Transcend 16gb class 6 card
most of the time. My guess is he had some unusual mode turned on
that did extra processing or had a slow card or some such.
It seems to happen when the camera is in bracket mode and I hold the
shutter down.
It happened again tonight. Presssing the shutter three times doesn't
seem to do that.
Is there some obscure menu option for the number of shots that it'll
shoot in a burst?
