[QUOTE="zumaneil, post: 275120, member: 22294"] I have to admit, when I first read your response I didn't think there was anyway that that r9 could really empty so fast that I could get off 100 shots... But I just gave it a try and got off 94 shots before getting spooked and removing my finger from the shutter release (having never done such a long continuous burst on any of my cameras before, it was kind of freaky and sounded pretty intensive on the camera lol). [On a side note, I'm awfully tempted to try it again as it didn't seem like it was anywhere near stopping at 100 shots... in the first half a dozen shots it went down from r9 to r6 and then for the remaining 90 shots or so it sat right at r6 without changing for even a moment.] So it would appear as though you are right! And I thank you very much for your speedy reply and input. However, to be fair to me, since on that official Nikon page you can see that Nikon labels it "Buffer capacity", I think it's Nikon that is confusing "buffer" with "maximum continuous burst"; shouldn't that section of the page be labeled "maximum continuous burst" as opposed to 'Buffer capacity"? Either way, thanks a bunch. I don't think I'll ever have to fire off that many shots in a row! [/QUOTE]
