In Fine mode, 6MP, I can burst up to 137 frames before the buffer clogs... I'm not sure why this is such an issue for Canon.

you're not going to get 137 RAW images, that's for sure... a lot of the 'buffering' really depends on the speed of your memory card vs the speed of the burst mode.

If you could write to your memory card faster than the camera can take pictures, you could theoretically continuall shoot in 'burst' mode.

And since the canon actually takes faster pictures than the nikkon, it's buffer will run out faster, meaning less total pictures stored in buffer.

So what would you rather have? Faster burst mode, or more pictures in the buffer? I'd think people would rather have faster burst mode.

Canon can take 3 pics/second.. what's so hard for the nikon to do it? :rolleyes:
