[QUOTE="romandesign, post: 144767, member: 14046"] No, I think it was done on purpose. Memory is cheap now, so they could not have just "forgot" to add it. They packed so much bang for the buck and offered an amazing camera for the price, if it would also have a large buffer they might have endangered their more expensive models. Tests show that up to ISO 1600 it's virtually identical to FX sensor SLRs in quality and noise. It's known that manufacturers deliberately slim down some features so they could maintain attractiveness of more expensive models. I can't be angry about that, it's just business, and this is still a great camera. They just made sure that a pro sport shooters would not be satisfied and bought more expensive cameras instead. Before that, they kept FPS in the "meh..." range to do the same, I like D7100 approach better. Most people would almost never need 6fps for more than a second, and usually there are pauses between such bursts, so buffer has time to empty. [/QUOTE]
