[QUOTE="jdeg, post: 10233, member: 1"] I was looking into how fast the D7000 can actually write data from the buffer to the sd card. I found that it definitely supports the new SDXC cards, which are currently up to 104mb/sec. The D7000 can shoot 6fps max. This table from the D7000 manual is saying that a sandisk class 10 extreme @ 30mb/s can write 10 files to the buffer in NEF(RAW) 14-bit (or 1.6 seconds worth of pics) before the 6fps speed starts to over run the buffer and starts to slow down.
