I normally shoot auto shows with a Nikon D3S which has a buffer of more than 30 frames...so it's rarely an issue. At times while shooting racing, I've hit the buffer with the Nikon, but it happens rarely. As I said earlier, the buffer issue with the M9 is a minor one, and it seems as if I were shooting compressed DNG files rather than uncompressed, I would not have had an issue.
