It's the amount of data the camera can handle before it has to write some of it to the Flash memory. You take one shot at a time and buffer size isn't relevant but take 6 quick ones and you'll see why it's an issue... Right. I should have asked What is the size of the buffer? Thanks, Joe

A lot of people get excited about CF speed, but I really don't think it is too big of a deal unless you plan on shooting sports or other things were timing is critical. The buffer on the *ist D is pretty big and I've never filled it in normal shooting...only when I was holding the shutter
