[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 119265, member: 9240"] There are always compromises to make to work around bad technology. I have one of the fastest cards available, and all that means is that I now get 2 or 3 shots every other second after the buffer hits capacity instead of 1 or 2. Have I missed great shots, as Sambr asks? I don't know because I was too busy being frustrated by my D7000 bugger being full to really notice what I was missing in the viewfinder. In other words, I've had my finger depressed on the shutter with a bird in the viewfinder but the camera stalled, so while I cannot guarantee that what I did not get would have been better than the shots I did get, I would have to answer your question with an "Absolutely!!". There was an interesting post in [URL="http://nikonrumors.com/2013/02/24/nikon-europe-the-d7100-is-not-positioned-to-replace-the-d300s.aspx/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NikonRumors+%28NikonRumors.com%29"]Nikon Rumors[/URL] last night regarding the Flagship status of the D7100.
