I've found that shooting six frames per second with the K-1 soon causes a buffer traffic jam. My workaround when shooting baseball was just to be more selective in choosing shots and to revert to single frame shooting at times. Love the camera, but the buffer and the focus point arrangement are both weaknesses. I'm wondering if those super fast cards the video shooters use would speed things up or is the camera's write speed limited.
