My understanding is that the memory is baked onto/into the original
processing chip. The chip does the processing to decode the original
camera sensors into your raw or jpeg image. This is all fast because
it is local, onboard the chip. After the picture file is built, it
resides on the chip

Memory upgrades never run faster than the original. Nor is it possible
to expand memory beyond the system limitations of the memory bus.
I doubt if it's even theoretically possible to increase the memory
capacity, let alone the write speed, without replacing so much of
the original electronics

I don't have a D but I compared the D and DS briefly for a bit when I

I believe that Pentax needs to improve AF-speed in order to even begin to
compete with Canon and Nikon.
Speed - or rather - the lack of speed (not only AF, but also write

What I'm saying is, that sports photography IS professional photography.
The same can be said about dog photography or any other kind of photography
imaginable because somebody somewhere certainly do it for a living.
