If you've got a buffer of (using your numbers) 75MB of very fast memory to write to on the camera itself, then the camera can shoot three RAW files, throwing them in the buffer as they come off the sensor, then copy from the buffer to the memory card at whatever speed it supports. Sure, you can't shoot three frames/sec continuously, but you *can* shoot a burst and then recompose while the buffer empties. :) I'm positive that Leica will have designed in enough of a buffer to suit Don's requirements, anyway. For a digital camera that's designed to continue the M's reputation for quick, responsive shooting, it's something that they're going to need. all the best, jv On 21/08/2006, at 6:47 PM, Didier Ludwig wrote: > Don > With a shooting speed of 3 frames/sec and an expected size of > approx. 25MB > for a M8 raw file you'll need 16GB cards with a writing speed of > 75MB/sec to > put 600 shots on...
